salute your shorts

[davemerrill]

Now that you're in the Army you need to make the most of your military career by learning the ins and outs of military courtesy - that means saluting everything that outranks you!



Shine that brass and get in formation, it's time's for Stupid Comics!!

I know Ethan Persoff already covered this one in his great "Comics With Problems" site, but we found our own copy and wanted to give it the treatment. It's pretty goofy.

The other day, I nearly saluted in panic at the unexpected sight of thirty armored fighting vehicles passing through town--Army green, four wheels on a side, a shrouded cannon on top (self-propelled artillery?). They were being carried on a Union Pacific train crossing Division--right past the coffee houses and bike repair shops. I could only guess that they'd arrived from Asia by ship and were now on their way back to some inland base. At that moment, though, it was like Patlabor 2 meets Portlandia.

I did salute a non-com once, but only to hear them say "Don't salute me, I work for a living!"

A line that was never delivered so well as by the late, great J. T. Walsh.
