Wouldn't that be an effective 60 degree angle?

Napoleon Painting[edit]

The Painting with Napoleon incorrectly states that those in the picture are at the stance of attention, they are in fact at the position of the Salute, I recommend that this picture is withdrawn from the article as it is not correct. 109.224.139.191 (talk) 19:45, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

German Bundeswehr[edit]

German Bundeswehr drill dictates ... outstretched hands ... That's a myth, or else it is new. Correct: Hands clenched. Commented that out until resolved. --217.229.42.35 (talk) 00:04, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Center for Disease Control[edit]

We seriously need a better source than this as it's pretty much the only source. Rklawton (talk) 23:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
