1. Joint Chiefs of Staff
Generals of the Army, Navy, Air Force etc.

4. Those six guys on the left side of the house not clapping?
Was wondering who they were. Do they always not applaud or is there something meaningful about it?

7. I think they are supposed to be non-political
They are not appointed, I don't think. They rise through the ranks.

2. Military chiefs of staff...they don't normally applaud/stand for their CIC
:eyes:

It's "traditional", but I have no idea why. I suppose it would be militarily unseemly...

6. Though we know it's not true, I think the military is supposed to
be non-partisan and non-political.
