do you know why america salutes like this:
notice palm facing down?
and other countries salute like this?:
notice palm facing out?
some historians give this to the account of america never losing a war

Naww, most countries do the same as U.S., but not necessarily because they didn't lose a war, but because they're saluting the gold emblem on the beret, which usually is the symbol of the national leader, often kings/queens, or the army logo, squadron logo, initials, etc. whatever the national tradition is..
Displaying your palm to officers is considered rude many places, thereof the palm facing down. :D
Don't they teach this stuff in the army ?? :P

that's why i said some historians, the true reason is that the early military's hands used to be dirty for shit so they thought it was disrespectful to turn a dirty hand to some one... so they started facing it down
