This is the take-away, not the fact that he didn't salute. I'm not 100% on the procedure for the entryway Marines, but I do know that the "president" may RETURN a salute, not start one.
Precisely. There was no salute to even return and, once again, people are focusing on dumb-shit sidelines to distract us from what the actual problem is: the fact that Joe Biden said, out loud, "Salute the marines" as he walked by.
Did you see the marines salute in this video? No, because they didn't. I never said they're REQUIRED to return a salute. I said the "president" does NOT INITIATE a salute to one of lower rank i.e. literally everyone in the military. Maybe take your own advice and actually fucking read what I wrote. Also, stop focusing on stupid bullshit nonsense like this. The real take-away here is that Joe Xiden said, out loud, "Salute the marines" as he walked by.
Lol So Canada's PM Trudeau's name sounds similar to the Mandarin word for Potato. He has been dubbed little potato after a trip to China. We now have President Potato and Prime Minister Potato in the same timeline.
this is really sad....you can tell this man was chosen , and there's no way he's going to last. it's like they are taking him by the hand and walking him around, showing him "now joe...watch your step here joe....come on..you can do it"
I noticed this yesterday when I first saw the video. As others have said, the lower rank always initiates the salute. I dunno though, maybe they don’t do it when they are holding doors open (the Marine in the foreground would be using his right hand to hold the door). You can hear someone gave an “order arms” command.
I doubt that they didn’t lol. Higher ups usually tow the line; didn’t bother looking at these guys’ rank though. Rebellion is more typical for lower ranks in regards to what they can actually get away with. These guys will get squashed if they violated something.
Lower ranking member salutes first. It’s a sign of respect to your superior. It would be disrespectful but the president doesn’t have to salute to anybody since he’s the head of the military.
Joe literally repeats what they feed into his ear piece. "Salute the marines"

Edited for clarity. Sorry u/SpinShaitan

No, it's correct. The president, like an officer, returns a salute. It is not started.
False. An officer is not required to return a salute.

Yes we can agree Biden is a douche of galactic proportions.
I just wanted any non-mil readers not to be confused by your first post when you said "must." That is all.
No shit Sherlock.
Reading is fundamental...
Experience trumps anything you'd ever read.
You don't read very well do you. The president is not "required" to return a salute. Read what you wrote.
Are you seriously this dumb? Where in my text did I imply the president is REQUIRED to return a salute? I can see what I wrote right now.
It's like hes a fucking animatronic robot or someshit at this point.
it's very very odd
What Obama* feeds in his ear piece
im pretty sure even obama can't stand him lol
Wow
Holy shit he dud!
I hope they keep this up as long as this potatoe is there.
POTATUS
I almost spit out my coffee
LOL
Oh my goodness, what an unfortunate typo. Certainly meant no disrespect to the POTATUS.
Oh dang, there I did it again. Sheesh.
/s

heavy kekking intensifies
They’re not free men; Joe is their albeit illegitimate commander in chief and they will be punished for disobedience.
Give those men a raise
Doesn’t work in the communist military.
'Work' and 'communist' never go together, unless we're talking about how there's no work in a communist society!
Damn
If it was pre inauguration..he wasnt president yet. (Shrug)
It would be nice to know if this is outside of the norm.
Those are ceremonial Marines. I highly doubt they'd do anything out of protocol. It's a highly selective posting.
He wasn’t president at the time so they didn’t salute. I wish this wasn’t so, but they would’ve saluted him.
Old man bad!!!
good. dont salute him at all. show the world this is a REAL illegitimate president. FUCK HIM
this is really sad....you can tell this man was chosen , and there's no way he's going to last. it's like they are taking him by the hand and walking him around, showing him "now joe...watch your step here joe....come on..you can do it"
while he's out of his mind

Nice!!!😁🇺🇲😁🇺🇲
This video was taken before he took an oath to office. Marines don’t salute just some random guy. For some reason capitol police does.
Yea great catch, you probably got those two NJP’d.

If Biden does not salute them they do not have to salute. I recall that is the case.

This
Thank you. I recall that now. That is amazing they did not salute.
You don't salute indoors unless part of a ceremony. They appeared to be in an archway with cover over their heads
But they have so many protocols ...
Stolen valor is really, really shitty, dude.
It's a bad look. Even for a troll.
