'You need to salute the sticker': Military wife demands enlisted salute her because of husband's officer sticker on her car

This military wife commanded her husband's soldiers to salute her and the stickers on her vehicle, which led to a little tom-foolery from the soldiers who maliciously complied with their orders (as grunts are wont to do.) As commenters have pointed out, what is it with the "Military Wife as an entire personality" stereotype? I suppose it's not an entirely unique phenomenon—people will build a personality around the darnedest things.

I'm not preaching from a pulpit here; I do it too. If you had known me from the ages of 16-21, you would have known me exclusively for the sport that I participated in. Hell, even now, I've just traded it in for a different sport and whatever "flavor of the month" hyper fixation I currently have.

We're all just a bunch of meat bags with electricity running through us, and we tend to get our circuits wired in particular ways. The tribalist part of us wants to identify with and as something to distinguish and differentiate ourselves from billions of other meat bag-batteries out there. Plus, there's a certain comfort to claiming a little slice of society as your "own."

I digress. Keep reading for this brilliant tale of malicious compliance. Next, check out this US Army clerk who got revenge on their toxic commander.
