Pesky Boy,

If a soldier saluting an officer is a sign of subjugation, why is the officer required to return the salute?
Is that a sign of subjugation by the officer to the soldier?

I have been on a parade where the inspecting officer, a Colonel, stopped and saluted a Private, would you call that a sign of subjuration?

Methinks that thou hast a lot to learn about the military.

Paul,

Can't you give a straight answer?

As regards Boyle, he stands head and shoulders above the Green MPs of the NSW Parliament who knowingly lied about him and then hid, like the cowards that they are, behind the shield of Parliamentary Privilege.

How's the plans to release feral cats back into the wild going?

Is Mise, in answer to your 2 questions:
1) The soldier is required to salute the officer FIRST, as a sign that he bows to the officer's superior status. That's subjugation. The officer is then bound, under the rules, to salute the soldier ONLY if the soldier salutes him first, thus acknowledging the subjugation of the soldier. Without a subjugated soldier underclass, no military can operate effectively. Soldiers MUST submit to commands from officers.
2) If the Colonel saluted the Private, without first being acknowledged by the private with a salute (I suspect you misinterpreted the exchange, or just made it up to make a point here), then the Colonel was in clear breach of military regulations .... and was thus NOT admitting subjugation to the authority of the Private.

Pesky Boy, I read what you say, but for some in the military along with that salute also came unwanted sex! Time for a Royal Commission.

The General rings the Private!
The Private answers the phone; "What the F you want!"
The General "Do you know who you are talking to?"
The Private "No"
The General "General Brassbottom!"
The Private "Do you know who you are talking to?"
The General "No!"
The Private " Well get F'ed!"..and hangs up the phone.

Sorry Is Mise Boyle was busted, what more can I say.
In today's Herald, the pair from the Shooters and Hooters Party are upset with Bugsy Baird's Government, and Fat Bob said him and his sidekick Even Fatter Bob will not support the government after the March election. Nothing to worry about Fat Bob is up for re-election, and after March he won't be back, his seat will be taken by a third Green LC Member.

Is Mise: I have been on a parade where the inspecting officer, a Colonel, stopped and saluted a Private,

Did you happen to notice that the Private was wearing a Victoria Cross?

The Salute is NOT a sign of Subjugation. It is a sign of respect one to the other. The Private recognizes the Officers "Rank" & the Officer returns the recognition. Or if you like a, "thank you."

A thing to remember that "Officers" are not "Soldiers." They are Officers. They are a completely separate entity.

As for the two Middle Eastern Gentleman. (I use the term loosely.) They should be removed from Australia & there Australian Citizenship stripped from them (If they have been Naturalized) as they have not lived up to the Oath they swore when they became Australian Citizens.

Jayb, so you say both those 2 people should be deported, even if they are Australian citizens naturalised or born here. You say this despite the fact that one of them, the second time the judge entered, stood up before the judge and pleaded not guilty to the break and enter charge. The other one, sitting down, pleaded not guilty.

Jayb, do you apply your same standards to white, caucasian Australians, also accused of break and enter, should they refuse to stand for a judge, or not stand when asked the first time? Should these white, caucasian, Australian born or naturalised Australians be deported? If we apply your stated standards fairly and equally to all, it seems you want these white Australian citizens deported for not standing up for a judge.

Jayb, do you apply your same standards to white, caucasian Australians, also accused of break and enter, should they refuse to stand for a judge,

Unfortunately nothing can be done with those people registered & born in Australia. How ever ANY Immigrant (Black, White, Red, Yellow, blue or purple) that has been granted Australian Citizenship swore an Oath to uphold All Australian Laws. They have broken that Oath, proving that they never intended to abide by Australian Laws. Therefore they have voluntarily relinquished their Australian Citizenship & must be deported, post haste. No appeals.

By the way Pesky. I thought that that was quite clear in my Post.
