Quote:About this saluting business.   The first 38 Presidents did not salute military personnel.   Not even Eisenhower, the former 5 star General, saluted when he was President.   It was Ronald Reagan that started saluting soldiers.   When he found out that Presidents never saluted, he wrote the Commandant of the Marine Corps about it, and the answer he got back was, you're the President, salute if you want to.   So that's how it got started. 

 

But then, why in the world would a civilian salute a military person?   It makes no sense.   What's a civilian doing saluting?


That particular civilian is also CiC, so maybe it is appropriate.
