A young officer was on his round when one of the riflemen did not notice him and missed saluting him.
The youngster got cheesed off and summoned the *Gorkha* and asked him the reason for not saluting him.
The Gorkha innocently gave out the reason that he did not see *Lieutenant Huzoor*
The youngster not convinced, punished the Gorkha to a *thousand salutes*.
The soldier immediately started saluting...
*Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw* who was passing by asked the youngster as to what was happening.
The youngster said, *Sir, this soldier had the audacity of not saluting me*. So I have punished him with 1000 salutes."
Sam replied, *Bloody good punishment young man, but ensure that you return each of his salutes*
For the next two hours the unit was treated to a scene of a Gorkha saluting and the young officer returning each of his salutes.
RESPECT is a TWO WAY STREET --
