Saluting
| |
| Hail to the Chimp | |
|---|---|
The action of greeting between fighting men.
This can be delivered in an efficient, crisp, respectful way that literally screams REMF who has never seen combat OR a slovenly, "I dont give a fcuk cause I've been on the receiving end of 47 RPG's in a snatch landrover and I think you're a cnut" manner.
Salutes can be:
- Classical - Right hand fist to heart.
- Medieval - Salute with a sword.
- Traditional military - Fingers extended and touched to eyebrow in longest way up, shortest way down.
- Nazi - Arm extended, fingers extended.
- One fingered - delivered on a regular basis to the UK Government from the oppressed taxpayers.
