Well....let's not go quite that far. I don't know if I wish Golf on anyone. That is cruel and unusual punishment, and a Golf Course is a waste of good shooting range land.

I understand (and agree with) the logic of the OP (XTR) that while in the military, you salute the uniform, as that person is your superior officer. In our country, our government is the "Government of the People" and all of the elected officials are just that, elected oficials, elected by us, and are merely public servants, more or less the opposite of the military hierarchy. Basically, they work for us, and essentially, we are in charge, or are supposed to be, anyway.

Thank God for the NRA. Without it and our support, we would be royally screwed.
As for arguing just remember..."If you wrestle with a pig you both get dirty and the pig loves it".

There it is. I learned it in the army.
The job is worthy of respect.
Whether you call him President or not reflects on you, not him, and I am worthy of respect, so I show my self-respect by calling anyone in the Oval Office "President", and anyone wearing a Lieutenant's bar "Sir", with a capital S.
This line seems to fall straight down the line of veteran/non-veteran.
It amuses me to wonder how many of those calling for contributions of money (the cheapest treasure of all) to this board never served.
jammersix, please enlighten me on how many pennies of every dollar the nra spends on lobbying please.
You tell me. I'm not a member.
Do you ever get flyers by snail mail, just asking you for more money? Do they cost money to produce? Do they cost money to send? Do you ever get offers running "specials" to upgrade your membership? Giving you a "break" if you recruit new members?
Do you get offers for hats? Jackets? Badges? Bumper stickers?
Everything they offer you cost money. Your money. Money that you gave them to lobby with, and they instead chose to spend to ask your for more money. Or they chose to spend your money on cheap goods to sell back to you at a profit.
That's not lobbying.
Everything you hold in your hand and read is a waste of money you gave them to lobby with.
But don't think about that the next time you're reading a "Special Offer".

Some time back, I came to the conclusion that these days anyone who wants to be President, is probably insane. The more they want the job, the more insane they are. It's a little bit difficult to respect the job when you believe that whomever holds it is the biggest looney of them all.

I always wanted a bumper sticker that said "Honk if you think a golf course is a waste of a perfectly good rifle range".

That is what trap shooters say about them too....and other things.
Jammer six do you donate to any organization? If so who?
Like it or not the NRA is reason we still have the Second Amendment. Like it or not Trump is going to be our Commander in Chief. I don't not like or support Obama. He is the President and Commander in Chief. I do respect the position but, not the person. Before the election and I became a NRA Life Member because I had a bad feeling about the election. Thank god I was wrong. All the gun stuff I do, I thought a life membership was the least I could do when they are the one's doing all the work and I take advantage of that work shooting and hunting. Like others have said, "You salute the rank, not the man." I will always respect the position of Commander in Chief, but I probably will not always respect the person. And the same went when I was in the Marines. I saluted and said "Good morning Sir", but that didn't mean I meant it. Some times I meant good morning and sometimes I didn't. But, I knew to respect the rank. The NRA is why we can still shoot and own guns, and Donald Trump is going to be our president. Like it or not, that's the way it is.
Jammer can't answer right now. He's at Hillary Clintons Thanksgiving Dinner. Menu consists of two whopping thighs and a dozen Left wings.
