Citizenship
By Garth J. Christie, CMCMonday, February 15th is Presidents’ Day. Lucky citizens will have this day off work and stimulate the economy in honor of all Presidents. Originally, this holiday was celebrated as Washington’s Birthday, and then called Presidents’ Day when Lincoln’s Birthday was added and now all Presidents are recognized. In a departure from past practice, this essay doesn’t laud the virtues of my favorite President, Lincoln. Instead it raises a question that pertains to all our Presidents; i.e. should the President of the United States (a civilian) deliver a military style salute?
My analysis comes from the viewpoint of a retired USMCR Captain. Starting at Officer Candidate School (OCS) we were drilled on delivering a perfect salute meaning you raised your fingertips to your brow so that your upper arm was parallel to the deck and your forearm and hand formed a straight line then return your hand to your side. This is done in a "snappy manner" as in "snap and pop".
Furthermore, a military salute could only be given when in full military uniform including a cover or hat. Marines remove our covers indoors so we don’t salute then. In OCS, we learned that the Army has a different policy and heard funny stories about soldiers saluting each other in their underwear! This practice, however, does not form the basis for the current Presidential practice.
American Presidents have always been saluted by the military but it is only recently that Presidents have rendered the military style salute. The following former U.S. Army Generals did not continue to salute in a military fashion as President; George Washington, Andrew Jackson, William Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Franklin Pierce, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Chester Arthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Contemporary historians credit Ronald Reagan with starting the current practice. President Reagan consulted the foremost authority on this subject, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Robert Barrow and was advised "You’re the (bleeping) commander-in-chief. You can salute whoever you (bleeping) want." General Barrow was known for his fluency in Navy lingo. In the intervening years we have seen Presidents deliver salutes of all different styles from shooing a fly (Navy) to thumbing your nose (Air Force) and now our current President.
President Obama never served in the armed forces like I did, yet when I saw newsreels of him saluting the flag draped coffins of fallen soldiers at Dover AFB, I was impressed. He stood at attention, ramrod straight like a Marine and rendered a perfect salute in a snappy manner like a Marine.
Presidents with stellar military credentials discontinued the military salute when they left the military. They needed to present an image separate from that of a military commander. Presidents with tenuous connections to the military mitigate this perceived problem by acting military-like and saluting. Although Presidents have a variety of saluting styles to choose from, they should choose the Jar Head’s style. After all, everybody seems to be copying the Jar Head hairstyle.
