During the Namtime, my brother got a 2nd LT who was strictly West Point, obnoxiously (and dangerously) so to troops in combat. So, to his great delight, they started saluting him. After a couple of hours of this the company CO called the LT aside and told him to lighten up -- because the men were marking him as an officer and hence as a target for a sniper. The guy turned pale and lightened up; word went around not to salute him just like other officers weren't saluted.
