@georgetakei When I was a soldier (conscript in the German army in 1985), I was taught:

You must not salute when you’re not in uniform.

That was a big no-no.

Is U.S. code different or does he ignore it as everything else.

@masek @georgetakei apparently, in US vets in civs may salute the flag as of 2009, but I don't know if it applies here, especially considering the cheddar is a draft dodger, but technically chief of armed forces, and many sites specify civilians may not salute, but put hand on heart instead.
