This US soldier flashed the “coercion” sign with his left hand when he met Senator Clinton while serving in Iraq in 2003.

This US soldier flashed the “coercion” sign with his left hand when he met Senator Clinton while serving in Iraq in 2003.
The photo inevitably made the rounds in chain emails and on websites for years. But unlike some stories that seem too good to be true, and frequently turn out to be false, this one appears to have substantiation.

If you look at what the soldier is doing in the photo, he is crossing his fingers. Why is this significant? It's the POW sign for “coercion.”

So, he was told he must pose for the pic with HDR and he didn't want to but was forced to?

something like that

"The picture of me and Hillary Clinton was taken when she came to visit Iraq. I was actually ordered to shake her hand, and I never figured that my friends would circulate it all over the net. I AM NOT a Hillary fan by any stretch.”

the soldier pictured with Senator Clinton (who asked that we not identify him by name) told us that he employed the gesture to indicate that he was not a fan of the senator's and was not as appreciative of having the opportunity to meet (and pose with) her as it might otherwise appear.

Makes me want to go back and look at ALL the pics of people shaking her hand to see how many have fingers crossed. :)
