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.
