You never salute down.He's not saying, "Salute the Marines", fool. He's saying, "Good looking Marines."
Good catch. I concur... he said "Good Looking Marines".
I will admit, when I was expecting to hear "Salute the Marines"... that is what I heard.
But when playing it several times.... it is pretty clear he is saying Good Looking Marines.
So why didnt he salute the marines, as all commanders in chief do?
An officer of higher rank approaches, the lower ranks salute first, then the higher rank returns the salute.
Close but no cigar. You can distinctly hear the Marine's verbal order to "Order arms!" when he fails to return the salute. They had already gone to "Present arms" as they were walking to the door.
