He's not bowing to him.
Maybe some would...but they would be petty. Courtesy ain't submission.
If you are an enlisted prisoner of war, you must salute all enemy officers. If you are an officer prisoner of war, you salute only enemy officers of equal or higher rank. You render your own salute, not the salute as executed by the enemy.Where other matters of military courtesy and discipline are concerned, you have the same rights and duties as your opposite number in the enemy army.
You are subject to all laws, regulations and orders enforced in the enemy army. You may be tried and if found guilty, punished for infractions of enemy regulations. However, no form of cruelty may be used in your punishment. Generally speaking, arrest, confinement and disciplinary punishment may be imposed upon you in the same manner as upon the enemy's own personnel of equivalent rank.
I watched Hogan's Heroes.That aside, and in a somewhat different, but relevant context, should U.S. POWs have saluted their Nazi captures? Seems crazy, right?
...except, yes.
So, much ado about nothing.
...as was President Obama bowing. Probably a breach of protocol, but courtesy and protocol don't always match up. Getting all exercised about every little thing?
How'd that work out with the Japanese? Ashio Copper Mines Country Club?
That may have been the point of the pic, but that wasn't my point. My point, as you pointed out, was in the same paragraphs, dealing with the "same rights and duties" and punishments not allowed, which we applied to their prisoners but they did not to ours:...and I'm sure that not saluting the enemy officers would have prevented that...

This is a joke, right?
How the heck is it acceptable for the Commander in Chief to salute an enemy soldier?!
Please explain how this is acceptable, while bowing to your equal head of state ally isn't.
A salute is a gesture of respect
A bow is a gesture of submission
But, I thought a bow in Oriental culture was out of respect, no?
So... not only did President Obama perform an act that indicates submission and weakness in our culture...
Wait, I thought we were talking about a bow, not ******* some guy's ****.
It's kind of moot given that Trump was returning a salute. But, I thought a bow in Oriental culture was out of respect, no?
