Odd. You didn’t seem to care about cops or military when a mob of trumpers stormed, injured and killed police.

What a faggot.

Civilians aren't supposed to salute military. Regan was too stupid to realize that and started the precedent. Glad someone finally tried to get us back on track.

Experts slam Fox News for wrongly attacking VP Harris for ‘repeatedly failing to salute military’ (https://www.rawstory.com/harris-salute/)

" Harris is

not a member of the military

nor in the chain of command,

and it would be inappropriate for her to do so. It would also signal a weakening of civilian control.

it would be "incorrect" for her to salute, and they know they're wrong.

"there is no requirement that the President or Vice President of the United States return a salute."

"In the military, saluting is a part of ceremony and it's very prescriptive. If you're not in uniform, you can't salute,"

"Saluting soldiers is not a recommended way to honor current or former members of the Armed Forces,"

Retired military here and the truth is that senior political officials have returned salutes although I believe not required. Maybe she will in the future.

She shouldn't. It makes sense for the POTUS but not the VP.

Just wait til Uncle Joe dies then we can revisit.

Really not a story here. Should she return a salute? Yes... and should she stop laughing at inappropriate times with her ridiculous cackle? Of course, but this is who she is.

She's not part of the military whatsoever.

Common courtesy? You would probably return the salute if you were in her position. Most would, imo.

She's proven to be anti-Cop/anti-ICE so maybe not surprising if she is also anti-military.

The biggest polluter in America, I salute you

US Military Ordered 'Clandestine Burning' of Toxic Chemicals in Poor Neighborhoods

between 2016 and 2020, the U.S. military oversaw the "clandestine burning (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/mar/25/us-military-toxic-chemicals-us-states)" of more than 20 million pounds of Aqueous Fire Fighting Foam in low-income communities around the country—

even though there is no evidence that incineration destroys the toxic "forever chemicals (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/forever-chemicals-are-widespread-in-u-s-drinking-water/)" that make up the foam and

are linked to a range of cancers, developmental disorders, immune dysfunction, and infertility.

She's following actual protocol which is respectful in itself.

Why is that so bad?
