It is always proper to return a salute, even if it is from the enemy or another military. (unless you are under fire or in a combat zone)

If this was true, CNN wouldn't have reported the opposite of amazonpost:

quote:
When meeting No Kwang Chol, minister of the People's Armed Forces and a top North Korean military leader, Trump initially tried to shake his hand. No pulled his hand back and then saluted the president. Trump then responded with his own salute, before the two men shook hands as Kim smiles in the background.

Video shows Trump saluting the North Korean military officer. Wow. Like Trump or hate him, this is a dumb thing to do. You don’t salute the enemy. https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.8141c62af06e

The video and story I linked to clearly show and state he is returning the salute. Check before you post

My argument is not whether it’s protocol or not, it’s terrible video that puts THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA on par with a murdering POS general from NK, and it’s terribke optics for my country.

The guy showed respect to him, so he returned the gesture.

Returning the salute of a lesser is the only choice (other than being a dick).

He should have been a dick.

Whatever. You are acting like he saluted the NK first.

By that logic, he shouldn't have shaken hands or even met with the North Koreans.

I was taught that every salute given, should be returned. NK is going to present it to their people the way they want to, just like CNN and MSNBC presents it to there people the way they want to. Remember how up in arms the leftist were when VP Pence didn't stand for NK at the Olympics?

I salute you!

And I will return your salute in the same manner it was given.

The 28 million slaves in NK and the democrats will believe what they are told to believe. Everyone else in the free thinking world could care less that Trump returned a salute to an NK soldier.

This is simply naive. Every newlestter poster board in NK shows Trump meeting with Kim and saluting the military guys. I’m all for talking peace but he should have just shaken the guy’s hand at best. I’m sure Obama doing something dumb like this would elicit the same excuses and understanding.

Now that's just down-right hilarious!!!

Dear Mr. ilikefirearms,

Your argument is a big ol'....

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
