    To further elaborate, the rules around uniform hats is entirely different than casual hats, you are supposed to remove a casual hat as a sign of respect while a uniform hat inherented the rules of helmets and are treated closer to combat dress. Is it a bit stupid? Sure, but it’s entrenched in old as fuck traditions and customs that go back at least to the medieval period.

        Trump doesn’t give an iota of a fuck regardless assuming he even has enough intellect to process such traditions and rules. Reminder he saluted a North Korean general once, which I don’t think I need to elaborate why you shouldn’t salute someone from an adversarial nation.

        You’re such a fucking bootlicker. Stop acting like there is plausible deniability here. Everyone knows you take your hat off as a sign of respect. You take your hat off to go to church, which he supposedly does all the time. You take your hat off at the dinner table for gods sakes. You certainly as fuck take your hat off to show respects to 6 people you got killed for a war you started to cover up the fact you raped and tortured kids with your best friend at pedo snuff film Island.

          See, that’s the thing. Not everyone knows this, it’s not obvious to everyone, and this was posted with no explanation as to what the procedure is.

          And given multiple other people in the photo are wearing hats, it’s a reasonable question to ask.
