Soldiers (enlisted below the rank of sergeant) never salute each other except maybe as a joke.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. The claim is that soldiers are jokingly saluting each other in honor of the Epstein class. I find it inconceivable that there aren’t groups of corporals jokingly saluting each other over the Epstein/Israel/Trump situation, especially after headlines like these came out. I find it incredibly hard to image they aren’t jokingly saluting like-minded NCOs as well. And surely, there are some lieutenants telling them all to knock it off.
The guy I was originally responding to seems to have a nothing-ever-happens mentality, and I couldn’t disagree more.
For sure, and this headline has been circulating for weeks. If no soldiers were jokingly saluting about the obvious military manipulation by the Epstein-class before, then some have surely been inspired by this satirical post.
Soldiers salute comissioned officers regularly, except in very specific circumstances.
Soldiers salute non-commissioned officers (enlisted with rank sergeant and above) very rarely in very specific circumstances.
Soldiers (enlisted below the rank of sergeant) never salute each other except maybe as a joke. It’s just not a thing.

Halfway Post is also a satire site like The Onion.
