Corrected entry: At one point, the General salutes the Lieutenant - no officer would salute a subordinate in the military. Similarly, at another point, the Lieutenant salutes the Captain, and the Private beside them salutes the Lieutenant (and actually shifts her stance to stand beside the Captain, to face the Lieutenant). A salute would always go to the higher-ranking officer. As well, throughout the movie, there are several instances of salutes which are awkward, incomplete, informal and not realistic for any military organization.

Correction: This takes place far in the future and with alien bugs. It's very safe to assume that this military has gone through some changes, and cannot be expected to conform to any of our current militaries.
