I'm surprised at the Marine's left arm and fist. I'd expect the arm to
be straight down the side with the hand in a relaxed, open, position.

Maybe it was colder'n hell that day.

Well, John. Actually making a clenched fist with elbow bent and set
isn't out of the ordinary for the jug..(OOPS!) "Jar" heads

Look at the sarge:

Eh, I suppose you're right. It naturally goes with the rank.


I think in many of these shots many are assuming the guys and gals
pictured are stationary and not in the process of coming to a stop or
snapping to attention, or both... ??

Thumbs along the seams of the pants. Nobody in the picture is doing it
wrong.


Much ado about less than nothing.


You've just summed up the Dopey Army in a nutshell.

What do

Jim's low opinion of the Marine Corps. To suggest a uniformed
Marine
would not show the proper respect to his CIC, demeans the
professionalism
of the entire corps.

You're off 180 degrees. That marine could teach the guy in the suit
a
lot about respect.

Well, one thing's for su The Marine has to salute him, but he
doesn't have to respect him. Maybe he was keeping that right fist
clenched to keep his middle finger from 'accidentally' popping out.

I think a good Marine would respect him too, no?

Why? I don't have a lot of respect for him, although I respect his
position and authority. A smart Marine can probably see what the guy
is trying to do to this country.

I didn't think personal opinion was an option once enlisted... Isn't
that part of the oath?
Nope. You can question any order. But you better pick carefully which
orders to question.


There better be a lot of people around you being tried for war crimes,
then they might let you out of the brig for refusing that order.

As I said you better be sure about the order you are questioning. And I was
taught that by my TI who was a former Frozen Chozen Marine. Had moved to
the AF as a trainer.

Anybody that is a citizen of the United States should respect their
president. John's blind hatred of anything Obama doesn't allow for
that. It's a shame John has taken that route.

I'll bet you were quite proud of the respect the liberals showed
President Bush, right?

Anyone who's a citizen should respect the office, but not necessarily
the idiot in it.
