A few things: 1. Trump goes out of his way to grab the Marines cover...twice. I think that shows some class. 2. Wonder if anything will happen to the poor Lance Corporal for losing his cover in the first place? 3. Although his cover flew off...twice...the Lance Corporal did not move. Great discipline. 4. Why are they wearing cover to begin with on the flightline? What about F.O.D.? And Finally, the Lance Corporal did not salute. Why?

As I see it the Lance Corporal did exactly what he was suppose to do. He was at attention, in the presence of the Commander in Chief; you are right...great discipline. He was wearing his cover because he is "under arms", in this case, the LCPL was actually armed. A duty belt in the Marine Corps is considered "under arms" (this is why Marine drill instructors can be covered in doors, Marines are always uncovered indoors). I don't think FOD, although a constant issue with jet intakes, is a hazard in this case. Marines do not salute uncovered...period.

CPT Jack Durish - I don't know about the expert thing CPT Jack...just customs and courtesies. The Corps has a zillion of them.

It is always interesting to see the differences in the services when it comes to things like this.

Mr. Trump respects the troops, the Lance Corporal probably was disciplined for not saluting later.

The Lance Corporal did the correct thing, Marines do not salute uncovered. I bet his chain of command was very pleased with his demeanor and professionalism. If it were me, I would be crapping myself...the POTUS picked up his cover...twice, patted him on both arms. That is respect.
