A Pennsylvania school bus driver resigned after the school prohibited him from wearing a MAGA hat.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Enlisted personnel don't get saluted. This is a non-story.
I was unaware. Thank you.

Addendum: it’s unclear from the video if Hegseth was giving or return the salutes, so - question. If the non-com offered the salute, should PP have returned it?

Yes. Refusing to return a salute is a huge no-no. Any leader who spurns the respect of his subordinates has no call upon that respect.
Well, since non-coms are REQUIRED to salute the Secretary of Defense, I’m going to assume that Pete fucked up.
