Obama's Drill Sergeant

How I'd relish standing Obama at a brace and show him how to salute! He's shown zero respect to the Marines and I suppose he thinks he's cute. No one salutes with a coffee cup in hand, not even the rawest, dumbest recruit! Should a soldier, sailor, airman or marine do such, he'd suffer the toe of a boot! He's been seen on camera saluting the flag with his left hand over his chest; With hands over his crotch or no salute at all with neither hand on his breast. If the president is interested in gaining the respect of those who keep us free, I'd volunteer to teach him the rudiments of saluting as learned by this old retiree! Robert L.

It doesn't make me happy... but neither does it surprise me. He never was a very respectful person. Writing is a good way to vent... I'm sure you'd make a good drill sergeant :)
