I truly believe that only the man with the most real life combat experience should be eligible for this role

Angus Campbell was a terrible leader. Shocking

Should have been moved on, a disgrace to the forces and the Australian public.

Good luck Sir, as you move to "Life after Army".

[@pnr9730]

Why Is the RAN guys salute not Australian?? That's how yanks salute?? LEST YE FORGET. I THINK EVERONE HAS.

[@JOH129672]

That’s how the Navy salutes the Americans copied the Royal Navy - maybe others. The salute is performed with the palm facing in as in the times of sail when the salute began the hands were always dirty from rigging etc. the tradition stuck with Navy

[@vndk8r]

Please refer to the following short explanation = kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPKaJJ5bL2mldE - Australia, as a Commonwealth country, salute like the British armed forces. The Royal Australian Navy (RAN), is a direct decedent of the British Royal Navy (RN), where as the Australian Regular Army (ARA) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) trace their origins to those British services and share their traditions, much as the American forces stem from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines presence in the Thirteen Colonies Protectorate (predecessor to USA) also.

[@RS-rj5sh]

Navy salute is different to Army salute in ADF. Navy salute looks more like US military style salute.
