No saluting for Canadian soldiers in the theatre of war

you never salute in a war theater, it gives potential snipers prime targets.

Never have and never will salute in an active environment.

This has always been done. Why is this news?

Too true. i found this sentence interesting though:

Because the media with their knowledge of the Canadian Military just "discovered" that fact.

Now it's out. Better spool up another inquiry.

good way to get rid of an unpopular officer.

The peeps at CBC has just seen saving private ryan ...

De rigeur in warzones.

I remember reading somewhere that the traditional initiation for new US officers in the DMZ is a nice sharp salute in full view of the North Korean snipers. The North Koreans usually give one too just for the fun of it.

Sniper check!

See? All of you knew it.

Must have been a no news day.

SOP. What an indicator of the lack of expertise in the chattering classes.

We never wore insignia in the field. Wear your bars and get a lobotomy.

Or keep em covered.

The peeps at CBC has just seen saving private ryan ...That's what I was just thinking. There are so many movies where this is demonstrated, I thought it was common knowledge.

This is news? lol, slow day at the CBC I guess
