    I mean, if they’d been ordered eyes right and present arms, they would’ve.

    But they probably didn’t plan for him to salute so no one knew what to do and just walked on by.

      in just about every snippet of a military parade i’ve seen, they show the part where troops walk by the president and he’s saluting and they salute back… and they know how to march in synch….
      this was malicious compliance.
