Just remember you are saluting the rank and position not the man/woman. Without protocol, traditions, courtesies, and the discipline that comes with it you have nothing but a mob. Witness what is happening on our streets today.
I was both enlisted and officer over 33 years. I treated my men with the same courtesy I expected from them.
For those reasons I am still a proponent of the draft and universal government service.

I ain't salutin' nuthin'!!!!
I hate the whole caste system. Doctor so-and-so, Mr. Speaker, Madam Chairperson, 'Your Honor' .......
To me we're all Bob or Carol or Ted or Alice. No one is above anyone else.
Well if you where watching an event when I was present and did not stand, remove your cover, and place your hand over your heart, or present arms when the National Anthem was being sung you would hear from me, "get your hat off" and after it was over I would tell you what an *** you where.
Done it more then once.
As far as I am concerned if you can not stand and honor the flag of this great nation get the heck out, and don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.

Conscription and forced labor is for Dictatorships, Monarchies, and Third World Banana Republics, of which we are none. I wouldn't even permit High Schools to require Volunteer Hours to get a Diploma like some do.
You say that like you would be in a position of power. Since in your world, everyone's equal, please explain how you would not permit volunteer hours.
