    Salute who, sir? MoD reminds soldiers who they should show respect to as top brass complain of being called 'mate' by servicemen

    Who to salute is easy, nobody! British servicemen don't salute anyone, they salute the cap badge, that's why they don't salute indoors where berets and caps are removed. Drives the septics mad.
