Not a troll, but there am I reminising about the days when I enjoyed the RAF cause we had a clearly identified enemy whose ass we knew we could hurt if not kick back to Moscow.
Then I remembered watching a young airman getting rodded out recently by a 2.5 for not saluting, and I made comparisons to black New Yorkers passing high 5s which I also witnessed recently. The differance is little thinks I.
So who invented saluting in the first place? we all know what a salute is meant to be regarding the monarch, but frankly it is a pain in the bum for all concerned.
I believe we do it because Grandfathers generation thought it a top idea, Is there still a place for it in Armed Forces that seem to have binned every other tradition once held so dear to many hearts?
