Air Force, man. He could've slapped the Pope on the arse and gotten away with it.

You know those are Air Force blues right?

Airmen, Coasties and boyscouts can look at whoever they like.

His head is kind of cocked. Not supposed to turn your head. But you can look with your eyes but your had is supposed to stay straight and facing forward.

But hell, the air force salute looks like shite anyway.

Eta: and their blues do too.

Those buttons on the guy in the middle must be secured with 550 cord.

He's a lazy airman with poorly pressed uniforms that's for sure.

Better question would be why they put chubbs on the right out there to meet the Pope. I mean I know a lot of Airmen are fat, but there are at least two that are in acceptable physical condition.

Because he is Muslim and his wife works at a planned parenthood center.

Is that a pack of smokes or a cell phone in his left inside jacket pocket?

Probably had to give them extra training so they'd salute with the correct hand.

Better be his ID and nothing else. Probably has some snack cakes in there.

I don't know the first thing about military protocol. What are the rules on stuff like this? ARe there some branches that must look straight forward like the other guy in the picture, while others have more lax rules?
