5. "he saluted an officer, but said officer did not salute back."

aWol saluted out of order. Guess his dyslexia carries over to military protocol.

And the heretofore honored rule has been that whenever "Hail to the Chief" is played, when the first note is heard, soldiers should stand at attention, face the flag if it is in view or face the music if it is not, and hand salute until the music ends.

(The military band must use the US Marine Corps Band arrangement of "Hail to the Chief", by DoD directive.)

Not that Shrub or his media flacks care.
