Is a Commander-in-Chief supposed to do this before getting on Marine One?
Ok fellow Marines, I know this video is a little old, but honestly, it's the first time I've seen it. Now is a President / Commander-in-Chief supposed to shake a Marine's hand like that before boarding the helo? If I were that particular Marine, I would have been in shock if he did that to me after I saluted him, but I probably would have shook his hand anyway. Regardless of everyone's views on the current President, does this possibly violate protocol? I honestly don't know. What do y'all think?
Here's the video:
