Aside from being born and a lifetime of fabulous self-promotion I believe the one thing that did most to invigorate opposition, raise hackles, summon hoots of derision and stir indignation especially among otherwise dis-interested vets was.....
That wimpy, disrespectful salute, "Reporting for duty."
And, anyone who refered to it as 'smart', 'snappy', or 'military' was instantly identified as the enemy, ignorant and partisan. |

That salute was straight out of a performance by the Village People.

"Reporting for duty" my butt. It makes my blood boil every time I think about his disingenuous remark.

C'mon guys..... That was his best attempt at being a professional hero. After all, he only had 4 months to learn it.....

He has had 20 years to report for US Senate duty and has been AWOL most of the time. That may call for a different salute with fewer digits.
