For those of you who want to know the true feelings of your Civilian Government toward our armed forces, you just might check out the video attached.
What I wanted to illustrate by stealing this little public access video is the utter disregard in which our current President holds the Military. The second thing I want to illustrate is that the command pilot of this helicopter has brass balls the size of grapefruit, he or she is a patriot of the first order and should receive a medal for what he did.
President Obummer should receive a kick in the ass.
When The President did not honor the salute of the Marine at the steps to the helicopter, the Command Pilot booted The President’s ass off the aircraft and made him do it right.
Have an honorable day Mr. Marine, sir! We thank you for your service even if it is to a jackass. To the Command Pilot of the helicopter, may all your journeys be safe ones as your honor and will live after you.
End
The administration uses the military as pawns in order to control oil, heroin, etc. They don’t give a rat’s ass about their lives.

to be used as pawns in foreign policy”…

Susy, don’t you believe it.

A Marine would not expect a salute in return from a civilian or a person not in uniform. Marines salute only when outside in uniform or when under arms inside; they NEVER salute when uncovered (no hat or head covering) or when out of uniform. If in uniform the Marine would salute an officer (if he is in uniform or not) or senior civilian official. The Marine WOULD expect acknowledgement of his salute, by a greeting, nod of the head or something similar. Obama should have greeted the Marine or otherwise noted his salute.
I’m fully aware that there is no “uncovered” salute (but thanks for reminding those who may not know).
My main point was the marvelous action taken by the aircraft commander in response to what happened. May he fly another 20,000 hours without a scratch!

“May he fly another 20,000 hours without a scratch!”
Absolutely agree! Although it’s tough when your bird of choice is a helo! Helicopters are said to be “a loose collection of 20,000 parts flying in close formation, each of which trying to kill you at any given moment.” Still, I’d like to fly in one!
I am reminded of a senior helicopter pilot while receiving a safety award for 25,000 hours accident free flying was asked, “Gabby, (his actual given name), to what do you attribute this monumental safety record?” Gabby replied simply, “An equal number of takeoffs and landings.”
Aviation humor is great!
“If something hasn’t broken on your helicopter, it’s about to.”
“Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up there!”
Just for you IS.
If helicopters are so safe, how come there are no vintage/classic helicopter fly-ins?
Leader, bandits at 2 o’clock!
Roger; it’s only 1:30 now—what’ll I do ’til then?
Real planes use only a single stick to fly. This is why bulldozers & helicopters — in that order — need two.
I never liked riding in helicopters because there’s a fair probability that the bottom part will get going around as fast as the top part.

I’ve had a few A&Ps teach me to be precise in my gripes.
Of course Muck but we know BO is an asshole
That one made my day, muck. Thanks, and nice commentary.
I would have waited until we were about 500′ off the ground, then booted his off the helicopter.
Hire better actors who don’t forget their prompts, empty suit and empty head, he’s a perfect puppet for the owners.
One word NIGGER.
Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that video. One of the best ever.
Funny I have seen a lot of pieces of crap in my life, but never saw one salute anyone or anything. Why would you expect anything different now?
Fucking AWESOME! That’s the kind of commander a soldier will die for. I’d almost bet he started out as an enlisted man!
I didn’t think I could loathe this rat commie bastard piece of shit any more, but thank you Muck, this video has taken me to a completely new level.
“Ahhh, General Dumford, I think we need to start a war somewhere. Something small. Just need a few, ahhh, Marines to go into someplace like Libya or Kosovo or Somalia. Oh, and make sure you take that guy —> And give him a few opportunities to excel. Thanks and make sure you kick the basketball through the field goal for a strike! HOOGAH, US Marine Corpse!” -Resident Bathhouse Barry
