Have military personnel neglected to salute President Obama?
No, there is no credible evidence of this. And if a member of the military ever refused to salute the commander in chief, that person would be in serious trouble. Most surveys show that President Obama is quite popular with most of the troops, but certainly, there are some who didn't vote for him. However, partisanship does not matter-- discipline does. In the military, you are saluting because it's required that the president (whoever he may be) is given respect. Some partisan websites have suggested that the troops won't salute President Obama, but this is false: as many photo and videos show, the troops do in fact salute him, since he is their commander in chief.
