I am a veteran and I assure you my patriotism is not “fake”. When you salute an officer or the president you are showing courtesy and respect. It is a custom that person being saluted show equal courtesy and respect back. The salute may mean nothing to the president but it does to the miltary person. I did not like when bush did what he did. And I didn’t like obama doing it. But at least I can say bush also was wrong. Vice stewart not saying he was wrong. No he never said those words. But was quick to go to the tried and true " but but bush did it" as if that makes it ok. I would have more respect for stewart had he slammed the president then added in the rest. But that would be putting what’s right over his agenda…Salutes may mean jack to obama and stewart but then neither has worn a uniform.
