All Comments on 'When Not to Salute'

Excellent story, Five Stars! I'm my days, an A-hole officer like that would have been Fragged.

Semper Fi.

Yes, arrogance is the same as stupidity, and gets the a..holes killed. Hopefully they don't take a bunch of soldiers with them.

Everyone who was in the military no matter what branch has know officers like the major. My hope is you write more stories along this line.

Been in this situation a few times, myself. Recon is and was my passion. Returning to a base camp after mission completion, put us into contact with the "Spit Shined REMF's" whose rank was all up and down the ladder. They rarely survived ANY action around the base camp, unless they learned not to ever leave their heavy bunkers. The wheels turning in this Marine's mind, about the losses from this officers "actions" feel true, and his actions bore truth. The Major would never believe he was in a sniper's sights, even in a combat base camp. I helped bury a few who were like him !!

Really liked the story, wished it was longer but still 5*. I look forward to reading your next submission. Thanks for a job well done.

Nice and enjoyable.
