Well, essentially, the theory is that you could win 866887690863 wars and lose and/or forfeit only 1, and it would still count. I...just called my father at work to ask him. This is Important Business lol
American salutes look, generally, like Jack's. Kind of like this.
I based my argument to my father on the Wikipedia article, too, but he concurs that even if it is untrue, it's one of those...stories that people generally believe is true. Like an urban legend. So it stands to reason that this could be the reason behind the inclusion of different types of salutes.
That said, the Rory bit is STILL hilarious, because I don't think anyone in America salutes with an open-palm.
