The Presidential Salute is 4 guns and 21 shots in rapid succession.
Biden got 3 guns and a 10 second pause between shots fired.
Biden got the salute reserved for Foreign Dignitaries.
Now …. Are we to believe the military all of a sudden forgot which gun-salute to give an incoming President? I don’t think so.
The odds of that are near zero.
What we saw was a very clear sign.
17 guns for a foreign leader…. Occupied DC. Law of war Manual 11.3. Fence up; Nat Guard on post OUTSIDE the fence. Scroll down for the chart. I’ll grant you this is the army, but I couldn’t find the Marines’ chart. https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/pdf/web/ARN20654_R600_25_Admin_FINAL.pdf
