16. Dress Uniforms?
Mon May 7, 2012, 06:43 PM
May 2012

Fatigues aren't dress uniforms. The dress uniform is not worn by us in theater. Where do you guys get this stuff???? Some were standing at attention and some were standing at parade rest, which is a modified position of attention. You are allowed to do one thing BREATHE. See, we're a little smarter than people give us credit for. We know how to show respect while showing what we truly feel. This comment is just another post that proves how little the people that use us as political pawns in speeches actually know about us. By the way, another thing you might want to notice is watching how the Marines salute the CIC when he leaves on his helicopter. They are required to salute. For Bush, they held their salute until he was out of sight. For Obama, they give the minimum requirement. (a standard no soldier or marine is ever satisfied with giving......the bare minimum)
