There is nothing persay wrong with saluting it's just this "I am cool I charged someone "attitude which is pompous, the good thing is that military law has made such piffling charges unsustainable on orders so no jumped up little jerk can pull such infantile behavior on an "other rank".
Respect earned, remember that gents, and also the case off a very pompous artillery officer who on his day of leaving the Queens service was pursued by a bod who felt hard done by with regards to a "little charge" instigated by said Officer to wit a duffing up followed, respect does follow you outside, I love reunions when some bod from lower down the food chain thanks a former OC and means it, it doesn't mean you have to toady to the guys, just be fair and decent
