Should Privates Salute Generals

Now that I have your attention (some negative, some positive, and some who down vote without so much as the simple customary courtesy of a comment) I would like to change this up a bit. The real question here is why so many questions about saluting? In the Army I was raised up in, saluting is actually taught as a privilege (evidenced by the fact that prisoners are not allowed to). With all the questions it seems like people are looking for ways to avoid it....or at least figure out who doesn't "have to". What's the deal?

P.S.... I really could give a crap less about a down vote because I'm not here for the points, but why not comment? Maybe I will want to down vote you in return.
