Wrong. Ron Paul served in the Air Force. Herman Cain was in the Navy.dbackjon wrote:Perry is alone among contenders as having done ACTUAL military service (in the Air Force). I do give him credit for that experience
Because anyone who is going to be Commander In Chief, the #1 role of a POTUS, should have at least served.Wedgebuster wrote:People who were never in the military are not supposed to return a salute with anything past a slight nod. This should be what President Obama should do.
That being said, I have never understood what is so damn important about whether or not a president or presidential candidate spent any time in the service or not, WTF with that ****? I only take notice when I see those who embellish the past service record of their partisan, ie George W. Bush's record with the National Guard.
The salute is lame Mr. President, lose it.

The air force isn't really considered "military service" by those of us who actually DID serve in the military.BDKJMU wrote:Yes, he did. Right now there are 16 Republican candidates. I only mention the service among those among the 7 top contenders, 6 that were at the debates (minus Pawlenty, + Perry)Grizalltheway wrote: He said contenders, didn't he?

A proper salute is brought from the waist with your hand already in the proper position, is snappy, and snapped back down to the waist. The pansy-ass salutes normally rendered by our CinC's (Obama's not the ONLY one with this problem) are weak as shit and they really should just eliminate them. You're only supposed to salute when in uniform anyway.Cap'n Cat wrote:Wedgebuster wrote:People who were never in the military are not supposed to return a salute with anything past a slight nod.

We shouldn't assume, Wedgie. This appears to be one of this "camera caught him at the wrong moment" things. Fast forward a second or two and I bet it's a firm salute.

Only time I spent in San Diego was at Navy schools. 8 months total in San Diego out of 22 years of service.

And the remaining 21 years was spent at a recruiting office in a strip mall in Flagstaff.

Um, so the Commander in Chief of the Armed Farces isn't allowed to salute those he commands????????
As the guy who's spent more time unemployed over the past 5 years than Travis, I wouldn't be making fun of other folks.Cap'n Cat wrote:AZGrizFan wrote:
