Why Does VP Harris not Return Salutes from Military?

[Nickyjo]

A lot about Harris in the news. One thing that I found very odd is Harris has been elevated to a position recognition that no one can recall it ever happening before. The websites of all 15 Cabinet-level executive departments already refer to this administration as the Biden-Harris administration versus the norm which would be the Biden administration. Is this because she is a woman? Anyway if her standing has been elevated, maybe she should be saluting the troops too.

Another was laughing out loud when asked if she planned to visit the border soon. What is so friggin funny about the question? There is a friggin humanitarian, health, national security crisis happening!

I remember the Nixon-Ford administration, the Kennedy-Johnson administration, Reagan-Bush, and other references that included the VEEP. And she shouldn't salute the troops unless she is in uniform. Reagan started that nonsense.

Nope, I’m suggesting AP is a proficient fact spinner.

But you're ignoring the fact that not one, but three different spokesmen for the NG said there was no invite. Along with the fact AP wasn't the only source to report on it.

Do you salute soldiers? After all, it's only common courtesy, right?

Why would soldiers salute me? I've never been VP

From the opening paragraph you quoted above:

"Vice President Kamala Harris is going through criticism for showing to interrupt with precedent and failing to salute the respect guard when boarding Air Drive Two.

Video reviewed by Fox Information....."

if you're going to quote from foreign propaganda outlets, is it too much to ask that you at least find one that's literate in our language? I mean, that's a pathetic effort. Who or what in the hell is "Fox Information?" SAD!! Whoever that writer is must be in propaganda training and will get a F for that effort - hope he or she gets dinner at least, maybe some bread and water.

After reading your post I was intrigued and clicked on the OP link. I only got as far as this:

Conservatives, together with Turning Level USA’s Charlie Kirk and former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik, slammed Harris after a video of her strolling previous the respect guard picked up steam on social media.

The translation app needs work.

Whoops. Nobody gives a damn.

You guys are reaching.

I keep telling you. Their spies are pawing through the White House refrigerator as we speak, looking for mustard or other scandalous condiments.

*LOL* Say what you will... but none of us ever bought into Sidney Powell's crap.

Hell, I bet you STILL buy into it.

Even knowing what Syd said about them in court. Sad

As a vet I have always found it disrespectful for a president who never served to salute a military member.

He or she has never gone through what we did to earn that honor.

I've always picture this out of shape politician practicing standing in front of a mirror and trying to do a salute.

As if you served.

 

[bearpoker]

Bingo! Fox Information is another Russian disinformation creation. Sadly it works and fake news lovers willingly swallowed it whole and passed it along. VySky and Mycroft jumped on it as the GRU intended.

I'm disappointed in the quality of this project. I expected better from the legacy of the storied KGB. I suppose when your target is the American Trumptards, the 3rd or 4th string will do just fine.

Video reviewed by Fox Information confirmed that her predecessors, former Vice President Mike Pence and President Biden, usually saluted the respect guard in the identical state of affairs.

Stop with the FoxNews agitprop. Civllians do not salute military members.

Says who? Not the VP's over the last 40 years. She's disrespectful. Shame on her!

LOL, I think I’d prefer to just let your little hissy fit fade into obscurity.

That's right! Only right wing hissy fits allowed!

No, as I understand it, Reagan started the practice. After all, he loved dictatorships.
Put Harris in a uniform and then demand that she salute. Civilians control the military, fund the military, support the military, but shouldn’t salute the military.

Kamala Harris is both the first female and the first multiracial VP, As a daughter of immigrants from both hemispheres and wife of a Jew, she brought diversity and woman power to the Vice President mansion.

Military custom. She never served so she does not salute military members. A salute is a greeting for the military only.

This is precisely why non-military should not salute.
Trump looks like he is blocking the sun out of his eyes.

A recruit would get hammered if she or he gave a salute like that. Theey would be subject to DIs in surround sound and then doing pushups until their arms were rubber.

Me too. It might be that they let the practice squad handle this one just to see how they do. As crappy as it was they suckered in the Trumpublicans and the QNuts.

Nobody who worships Trump the Terrorist is allowed to criticize Democrats for that. He spent his entire adult life making terrible decisions to get more power.

Are Americans who didn't serve in the Armed Forces allowed to salute? I thought the salute was a salutation between warriors.

 

[Felis Leo]

Speaking as someone who has never served in the military, I do not know the proper etiquette and form for giving or returning salutes.

I imagine it would look rather awkward and forced if I felt I had to do so.

Saluting customs in the military vary a little bit as far as when and where from branch to branch, along with being covered. (hat on or off)

For example... The Navy does not salutes indoors (except for ceremonial) or without being covered. Army and Air Force salute inside and outside?

The military is saluting her out of respect for the office. As a courtesy, VP’s return the salute not because they may have served, but because it’s the right thing to do.
