Shu Xinfeng talks about civilization. Handwritten newspaper materials: Do you know the etiquette of the US military?

There are many kinds of etiquette in the American army. After years of development, it has been integrated with the modern American army, and every move and style have strengthened the soldiers' sense of identity and responsibility. Like the armies of many countries, the hand-raising ceremony is one of the oldest and most common ceremonies in the US military. The agility and standardization of salute is an important symbol of the quality of soldiers. According to the usual practice, the lower levels of the US military should salute their superiors and call them "officers"; Senior officers have rank marks on the front of the vehicle, and subordinates should salute the officers in the vehicle; Subordinates lead the team to drive by car, and when they meet their superiors, they should salute on behalf of all the players.

When I visited the US military barracks, I found that all officers and men at all levels of the US military strictly implemented this basic etiquette. Whether in the same unit or not, whether they know each other or not, when they meet their superiors, the subordinates salute in unison, and the superior officers reciprocate. When I talked about this topic with the accompanying US military officer, he said with deep feelings: "Don't underestimate the salute and return. This is not only a manifestation of mutual respect between superiors and subordinates, but also a prominent manifestation of the regularization of the army, especially the obedience and discipline awareness of soldiers. " The officer went on to say that his unit had participated in the Normandy landing campaign in World War II. In the battle to seize the beachhead position, many grass-roots commanders were killed and the organizational system of the troops was completely disrupted. It is with their usual sense of obedience and discipline that American soldiers consciously obey the command of unknown officers around them and occupy the beachhead position.

Every time you join the army, get promoted or go to war, the US military will hold a grand ceremony, during which soldiers will raise their hands and take an oath. During my stay in the United States, I was invited to attend a ceremony awarded to good soldier by the US military. At the beginning of the ceremony, the military band played the Stars and Stripes. At that time, I found that not only all the officers and men present stood at attention and saluted, but also the vehicles and passers-by on the distant road stopped automatically. Everyone stood at attention and saluted the national anthem. Several decorated soldiers on the stage were even more excited and even shed tears. At the end of the national anthem, all American soldiers present spontaneously cheered loudly.

The American armed forces also have some special manners. For example, when soldiers get married, they usually hang the national flag and the military flag of their own troops. The couple have to go through an arch made of sabers and use them to cut the wedding cake. The officers attending the wedding are all dressed in military uniforms, medals and badges; When the aircraft carrier returns, visits or participates in large-scale celebrations, the officers and men on board will arrange and combine the ship names, slogans or other words that best express the wishes of deck officers and men; During the funeral for pilots, combat opportunities flew over the cemetery in formation, but it was less than normal 1 frame, symbolizing the loss of 1 pilot.

In addition, there are a series of commemorative festivals with military themes in the United States, such as the Three Armies Day, Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Among them, "Armed Forces Day" and "Veterans Day" aim to pay tribute to Americans who serve in active service and the military; "Memorial Day" is to commemorate those soldiers who died for their country. At that time, the American people will pray and observe silence, and the ceremonial soldiers will wake up 24 hours before the memorial buildings such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

One trip happened to coincide with Veterans Day, and some friends and I went to the streets to watch the local veterans parade. My friend told me that the man who walked in front of the parade and raised the flag was the mayor, followed by the veteran team. These white-haired veterans are dressed in red suits, red boat hats and medals. They are cheered and saluted by roadside citizens with great energy. It is said that this is one of the most lively activities in the local area every year. Near noon, the activity was over. On the way back, we met a veteran, who was resting on a bench in the street, so we went up and talked with him. The veteran raised his eyebrows and said, "The state has set up relevant anniversaries and carried out relevant activities to show respect for us. The mayor personally cleared the way for our parade and gave us a psychological satisfaction."

It can be seen that the various "tangible" etiquette of the US military not only embodies the unique mental outlook and culture of the army, but also plays an "intangible" role. Mahan, a famous American strategist and the originator of "sea power theory", said: "Tradition contains great social value, and long-term respect for tradition has power that cannot be obtained from anything new." Born out of the armies of Britain, France and other countries, the U.S. military has grasped this point, paid attention to inheriting and carrying forward traditional etiquette, and subtly influenced officers and soldiers and educated the people.
