Military courtesy change

I picked up on something very funny this morning.

CNN showed George W. leaving HM-1. The marine at the front step saluted,
GW returned it, and as he walked away, the marine executed a right
face to stand facing GW's back...something that was missing in eight
years of the Clinton presidency.

The traditional Marine Corps mark of respect was
rendered to the new president. That one goes back to the days in the
rigging, when the marine orderly to the ship's captain always faced him,
no matter his direction of movement, to be ready to receive an
order. Who says that enlisted men can't hold back when they
don't respect someone? ...And for eight years, they did.

related to me by a cousin. Can't verify factual basis, but interesting.

So you think we should not take rogue states seriously? Or wait until we find out what they will do? Sorry, Patricia, we only get one Pearl Harbor. Next time it's YOUR city that gets sunk, like the Arizona, with you in it.

<<cabinet team (they are capable; they are experienced) all take this seriously. >>
