But hey, keep carrying that water.
I simply meant "not a civilian" when it comes to saluting protocols which was the topic at hand. The President doesn't follow civilian protocols.
Presidents adopting military salutes primarily started with Ronald Reagan upon receiving the advice of the then Marine Corps Commandant in 1981. Presidents have adopted the related military protocols ever since, although each President sets the protocol they wish to follow with their own Chief of Protocol. (Retired Master Chief Petty Officer Sean Lawler is the current White House Chief of Protocol.)
Federal statutes specifying flag protocol limited the right to salute the flag to those currently serving or veterans who have previously served in the military, when in uniform. That law was amended in 2008 to permit veterans to render military salutes to the flag even when not in uniform. The only exception is the sitting president. Why? Because since Reagan Presidents have chosen to follow most non-civilian protocols.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Pretty sure Faux News was upset that Obama even dared to salute seeing as that he never served in the military, and then coupled with the nerve to do it with a coffee cup in hand.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Originally posted by Wisko McBadgerton View PostCivilians should stand and place their hands over their hearts at the passing of the flag, or in this case, the remains of the former POTUS.
Military does not do so, but rather stands at attention. (and salutes when appropriate) I haven't looked up the specific rules here but I'm pretty certain that the POTUS as Commander in Chief is not a civilian and is acting appropriately for his rank.
This will probably garner about a billion retweets and much outrage even so.

Originally posted by Wisko McBadgerton View PostArticle II of the Constitution designates the POTUS Commander in Chief of all armed forces and militia, however you are correct in that the President is required to be a civilian. I didn't mean to suggest he wasn't, although I certainly wrote my statement incorrectly. Sorry.

No. They couldn’t. Trump doesn’t even read the PDB. You could put a gun to his head and he wouldn’t sit with a protocols officer for more than 30 seconds.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1
