During standard military formation, when the battalion marches past the Colors, the Battalion Commander and other dignitaries, the platoon leader orders his platoon "Eyes
Right!"
This command is to order the platoon to look towards the the Colors and Battalion Commander as they march past.
Along with the Battalion Commander, several dignitaries may also be present with him. These dignitaries may include heads of state, congressmen and even the
President.
Since many people are disappointed with Obama, including the Armed Forces, this "
inside joke" has a strong foundation. The "inside joke" is to command "Eyes Left!" so that the platoon looks away from Obama instead of towards him.
This offense is punishable in a military court, so the order
will never be heard nor followed. But in secrecy, in the military bases, in the
bars outside of the bases, and at the homes of fellow
men, "Eyes Left" means that you are upset with the way Obama is running the country.
