Its basic and easy to understand. The military works and are subservient to, the civilian authority in this country. When I was in the army, this fact was drummed into me repeatedly: I worked for the American people, and thus above all others, even the officers in command over me, I was to be respectful of and protective of, the civilian populace of this nation. Civilians do not return salutes of military people. To demand that they do so is not only to be ignorant of military regulation, but is to put the military in a position where they are in authority over those civilians. And thats just wrong.
