Until Ronald Reagan, the President never saluted military personnel. The salute to the President from military personnel is the reminder that the military is subservient to the civilian government.

No US President ever to my knowledge saluted a foreign military person until Trump’s stunt in North Korea.

The conservative spin on this is staggering.

I wonder how this is going over in the minds of many an elder conservative ex-military person?

Just like the immigration thing may be a step way too far for conservative women, this might be too much for former military that spent a part of their lives under the cold war thinking.
