Re: US Military pic thread

One question, why Admiral Pace didn't salute to Japanese? We all know he saluted to Chinese. What is the general term of this?

Re: US Military pic thread

szbd, I cannot see your picture. Only a little red x.

I'm sure he did salute the Japanese. In fact I have a picture of him saluting. Perhaps the photographer did not publish the picture or missed that shot. Alos in the two pics below he his passing in review. When he past the Japanese flag I know he saluted it as the flag is (dipped) lowered which is a signal of a returned salute.
