2. In officer ranks, there are |
|
several acceptable ways of saluting. Only a hardass makes a big deal about it. Most officers dont.

4. So you're saying that middle of the forehead |
|
with the hand nearly straight up and down thing is acceptable?

is a bit low. Ideally, it should be further out to the side but he is the C in C. Who will correct him? But you know what, we have bigger problem to deal with than his stupid salute.

7. Thanks for clarifying that, TrogL! |

I always remembered this pic, and thought it looked positively idiotic.

Consider the camnera angle. I am sure Bush knows hos to salute. Hell, he has been playing soldier for so long, he better know how.

14. The camera angle is nearly directly in line with his head. |
|
So... what is this you're saying about the angle influencing anything?
Is just barely off to the side of center an acceptable salute?
Even if it is, it still looks stupid. Glad more officers don't do it.

6. Does he only own that one blue shirt? |

Georgie, go to Men's Warehouse and get a NEW FUCKING SHIRT. It can be white, black, red, purple, brown, yellow, whatever, but it can't be blue. It has to have a collar, and it can't say "I'm with stupid".

10. And I know he has enough money for some better suits. |
|
God those suits are HIDEOUS!! He has enough money he needs to get a professional tailor to make him some double breasted silk or linen suits. In gray, green and something other than blue and brown. God I'm so sick of seeing him in BLUE!

21. God knows I am not a * supporter, but I have to in this case |
|
we only have one frame of a continium of motion, for all we know he did raise his elbow in the next 1/500th of a second, or he may already be dropping it after having it up there
And yes the camera angle makes him look stupider than usual
All in all, this is nothing for idiotic salutes, the ones while he has the dog or some papers are the hoots.
