Just read that even Pres. Eisenhower who was the General in charge of the troops during World War 2 NEVER saluted military personnel as President.
It was thought to be improper.
If a President who was one of the greatest military leaders of all time didn't salute the marines on guard (or any other military personnel EXCEPT when awarding a military honor medal), then why on Earth should Pres. Obama (or any other President) do it?
It's dumb shit like this that really shows how easily distracted the American people are and how easy our society is manipulated by the govt. and the media.
