It is appropriate for the President to retun a salute from a service member. However, since he makes the rules, it is his choice. Since the Commander in Chief is the highest ranking person, he does not initiate a salute. However, some presidents have initiated a salute to those who have been awarded the Medal of Honor.
Two is the signal to drop the salute, but remain at attention. Two, meaning the second part of a two part salute. One is the salute, Two is dropping the salute.

He isn't required to salute anyone. He is a civilian.
Yes you do. In the US Military, personal salute Comissoned Warrant officers, and Comissed officers, Foreign friendly Military members, The President, and medal of honor recipients. Like if you earned the Medal of Honor and you were a corporal or private, everybody would have to salute you, even generals. if you are enlistedmen or a non-commisioned officer (NCO) you do not salute eachother, so a E-man (enlisted) would not salute a NCO. Also if you are the lower rank, you have to salute the higher rank first and then the higher rank salutes you bak. But yes if you have to salute the President and you have to call him either "Sir", or "Mr. President". and nothing else except thos two names
Of course. The salute is a ritual that is meant to show respect. For example, when a president exits Air Force One, the military guard at the foot of the plane's stairs salutes the president (whether that president served in the military or not); the president then returns the salute.
Well of course different countries' salutes vary. But as for the US there is the hand salute and gun salute. Gun Salutes are rendered as an honor for example, the arrival and departure of a President or the death of a President.

In the US, the President is defined as a member of the military; specifically, the highest possible rank. Saluting is expected.
No! She is not the elected official
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.
