Why ban only the nazi salute? ALL saluting in military and armed forces should be blackbanned

Banning the so-called 'nazi salute' is a bullshit move to appeal the woke brigade. All saluting should be banned including in all military and other armed forces.

In volunteer emergency services there's no such thing as there's no such thing as 'you must automatically respect the rank' and similar bs conditioning.

So what's then wrong with 'nazi salute' when other saluting is considered ok? Stuff that.

If you don’t want to salute, don’t. There’s a reason the salute associated with the Nazi party isn’t used or acceptable. Read your history books.

Take you’re misguided anger elsewhere please. You look for way too many red flags in your life.

@Pinkstarburst Make the Trumpanzees stop making out that their Fuhrer Donald did not attempt to start a new US civil war on Jan 6 2021 then and I'll listen. People might not like nazi stuff (we don't per se) but each person has a right to think and believe what they like. A special way of saluting doesn't impact another person's life - Be like Bill and move on.

@mksworld This salute has been considered morally banned since the end of WWII. It isn’t a new thing and has nothing to do with our completely insane conservative and liberal whackadoos walking around like emperors in their new clothes.

Also, you may want to ask an elderly person with a few numbers tattooed on their arm how that salute impacted their life and the current life of their family.

Heil Hitler was a salute to a person, that the Nazis required, and forced it as a replacement to the standard military salute, signifying respect of rank or flag/country.

Why would something designed to praise Hitler not be banned?
Banning the so-called 'nazi salute' is a bullshit move to appeal the woke brigade.

I don't think any salute should be banned, but based on this language, there's a fairly good chance that you're actually a Nazi.
@mksworld Trans people are literally just asking that you treat them as the gender they identify as.

Republicans are calling for the eradication (genocide) of trans people.
"Woke" is about discrimination, but somehow Republicans aren't "woke."

This is why I can't take anyone who uses "woke" that way seriously. Y'all always turn out to either be Nazis or at least run defense for genocide.

@BohemianBabe We know trans, non-binary, etc. people and treat them as normal humans like everyone else. They don't want special treatment, but their predicament creates social problems because they don't fit in the 'you are either a man with man bits or a woman with woman bits' spec.

Ya know, it really is amazing how many anti-gay arguments are recycled and made into anti-trans arguments.
Conservatives said the same thing about gay marriage. They'd say things like "Look, adults can do what they want in private, but how are we supposed to explain to children that some men marry men?!" Basically, gay couples don't "fit in" with society. And of course, this was after the Right already lost the fight to keep homosexuality illegal.

Also, this is beside the point. Republicans want trans people dead. They're openly talking about eradicating "transgenderism."

As a former officer I would love to get rid of the salute too. When I got promoted to captain all my lieutenant friends lined the street and commenced to salute me. Of course I had to return the salutes. Until the base commander happened by and stopped his staff car and asked if I would like a ride. I accepted and smiled as all my friends had to salute the pennant on the staff car and I could just sit and relax.

Said no one who served in the military a single day of his life ever.
@Steve42 If ya look around and listen about 30% of society now...ultra right wing trumpers....want democracy to be replaced with fascism. Their cult leader advocates for tearing up the Constitution and they cheer for that to happen. The Nazi flag is something to be waved...not be ashamed of. When that kind of traitorous attitude replaces patriotism then the first thing the traitors want is the elimination of the military...salutes...any kind of armed forces if it does not act as a coup force to make sure the dictator gets seated and defends him once he takes over. When you see a comment or hear anyone say what mksworld's post says... "Banning the so-called 'nazi salute is a bullshit move to appeal the woke brigade." it is either a troll post or a confirmed trump traitor speaking. In this case...#2.
Sounds like you're a Nazi.

@mksworld I don't think so. My mind is very clear on this topic.
mksworld · 46-50, C
@Zeusdelight Well lets enlighten you - we are a couple - two women - who live together. We're not germans, we're aussies. we are not nazi's. We just think supression of one form of rank honour while permitting another form it satisfies the pub test.
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@mksworld Congratulations. I don't care who you are or what your nationality is.

You are equating one salute that is symbolic of fascist hatred with all other salutes.

It is a totally false equivalence that would not pass any pub test.

Because of what the Nazi salute represents but you really don’t give a shit about that which is why you are complaining so loudly.
The nazi salute has been banned for longer than you've been alive... and you're only now getting angry about it???

Yeah... its only a salute - a salute which saw countless people sent off and killed in gas chambers just for peacefully living their lives.

Let's all reinstate the salute and forget about the lives that were taken and the fact that the ripples from that are still felt today.
Now that's a strange new concept to me. I will have to ponder upon the matter some.
No matter what the voices are telling you, you don't need.........take your meds.
If you have to ask "what’s wrong with the Nazi salute", sorry, that’s probably about you. Of course, I’d honestly be curious to know if other veterans believe that all salutes are equal.
Oh well. Nobody can stop NATO anyway.

You seem to have lost your mind.
