The Flag
As a symbol of the entire nation, the American flag must be treated with respect. No one knows this better than soldiers. These people will not hesitate to stand up and even raise their fingers in a salute whenever it is raised!
Back To The Wall
Soldiers have a tendency to take the seat in the back because they like the security of having the wall right behind them. This is actually a really good thing to keep in mind, so you might want to start doing this as well. When you are in this position, you no longer have to look out for potential threats coming from behind. Instead, you can direct all of your attention to your front.
