Yep, a United States Marine saluting a vanity plate.

Maybe he thought the guy was Somali diplomat.

He pulled up to the guard and the Marine snapped to attention and waved him through. He wondered why he got a salute but pulled on through the gate.

After he spent some time there he returned to his car and noticed what had happend: his front license plate was the Bonny Blue Flag!

The Guard or MP may have been doing a Wave thru / Salute. When I was in the service the MP would do this kind of wave through which also was a salute so they would never miss saluting an officer.
