1. Correct.
The elbow should be elevated to about 90 degrees and the hand should not appear to be ready for a karate chop. :)

2. And the left hand should be straight down the seam of the trousers.



What can you expect from someone who can't even open a door or eat a pretzel?

14. I'm STILL in shock that we have a total MORON
running this country. He looks like Stan Laurel in that pic. He's the goofiest acting male I've ever seen. What really gets under my skin is how so many people listen to him talk and take every word he says so SERIOUSLY. I mean he can say the most ignorant things and no one blinks an eye. Before King George,everyone used to LAUGH at such stupidity.....now they think everything he says makes sense. BEAM ME UP,SCOTTY! I've only been in the twilight zone since 2000. :crazy:

4. He skipped that day in the National Guard...
when they taught how to salute.

Why do presidents salute anyway?

8. To Be Fair... Bush Was in the Military
Clinton was not, though he should still salute correctly. Not sure Bill's salute is that incorrect.

10. excellent point, Stepnwlf
Bush got a direct appointment, tho he still had to undergo basic officer training.

that's one of the FIRST things taught in basic training.

23. To be extra fair
one of the first crap grenades tossed at Clinton when he got into office was over his "improper" salute. TV bobbleheads made much of how insulting it was to the Marine One guards (or so they happily imagined) and he had to make adjustments, while the press watched to see if he got it right or continued his "disrespect."

12. That looks about on par with every flag/general officer salute I've seen!!


That's Louis Johnson, SECDEF, MacArthur, and Omar Bradley in Tokyo, 1950.



Here's John McCain's daddy, the senior guy in that gaggle, returning a salute to someone off camera.

6. Give him a break. He was of the exalted officer class.
Doing things properly in the military are relegated to the working class.

9. Why won't the former Texas governor show proper respect for our troops?
Perhaps it's because this recipient of elitist affirmative action just doesn't give a flying Cheney about the "unprivileged."

11. Look at the pic in post no. 5 of President Clinton
Now look at that freakin moron you have in your post.......what a difference! Look at how mean the King of all Christians looks....then look at a pleasant,good looking REAL President. It makes me want to throw up buckets when I think of what we've got in the people's house. Geesus,Gawd almighty......why can't that bastard be in Kenneth Lay's place? WHY,WHY......... WHY????? :puke:

22. Not really a salute, just a reflex reaction to any sudden movement...

24. He's coming out of a narrow doorway and down stairs.
If he didn't tighten up afterward, then he looks like an idiot.
