OT/political: Has anyone else noticed this?
Military courtesy change:
Recently, 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. One that goes back to the days in the rigging, when the marine
orderly to the ship's captain always faced him, no matter his direct1ion 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.

I heard that Hillary specifically prohibited that behavior...
...at the White House. It wasn't a lack of respect for Bill, but Hillary's orders. I also heard that the Marines' morale on that prestigious assignment was very low, because of the cold shoulder that the wicked bitch from Arkansas gave them.....

Re: This is BS - more involved than meets the eye . .
another rebbubican tired to convince me of this earlier.
Basically, the grunt at the door is taking orders - from who know where. Judging from gov't behaviour in the past NO ONE, including (especially?) dubya hisself, has any idea what is what.
Just my personal opinion (unlimited worth here).
