Identity's Unprofessional Entities

~ Limerick Form
                  Political Verse ~


Select leaders based on identities
Beware unprofessional entities
  Ms. Harris does not salute
  V.P. gives respect the boot
But Washington treats her with lenity

My daughter is in the military, she would be HORRIFIED AND INSULTED if non-military saluted; I am just saying.

Sorry, but Kamala Harris is the VP to the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Of course, Biden and Harris ought to salute our servicemen (protocol or no protocol). The pity of it is that neither Harris nor Biden (nor Trump, nor Obama, etc.) ever served in the military, and neither (none) of them has any business whatsoever being Commander-in-Chief.

And rightly so. Most military consider it an insult, a smart-assed retort, when non-military salute.

C'mon, Gershon. The V-P is neither in the military or in the military chain of command. You know that! No protocol calls upon her to salute, and it probably didn't enter her mind. That being the case, she might well have inadvertently failed to salute. As a military person I was guilty of that, occasionally. Give the lady a break! Tough job. I wouldn't want it!

Thanks for listening, Milt. Appreciated, gw... And you may well may be right about schoolgirls in general. The schoolgirls I know are rather exceptional, I guess. Thanks again, gw

I hear ya. I, too, question how one can become C-I-C through ballot box without having served in the military. Bad choices, for the military. As to "most schoolgirls know better," I doubt it, Gershon. I had to remind two of them today that a mask does no good whatsoever hanging around their chins in a room full of otherwise properly masked patrons. Oh, well....they looked at this old dude like, "W-T-F business is it of yours?" But, when my health is at stake, it's my business! Gershon, I will always respect your opinion, even if I don't necessarily agree. Got that?

Common courtesy, Milt. Most schoolgirls know better than this V.P. ... Sorry. Can't cut Ms. Harris a break on this. If she can't take the heat, she can get out of the kitchen... btw, I've long maintained that no one should be C-I-Chief who's never tasted the military. So, the last President qualified for C-I=C was George Bush, Sr. Given today's reality, C-I-C ought to be separate from the Presidency, unfortunately. ~ Just sayin', gw
