Far back in human history, you never knew who was trying to kill you and who wasn't. So the practice began of lifting your sword hand up near your head to indicate that you weren't about to draw your sword. Today, this has eveolved into the military salute. For those who didn't or couldn't salute, a greeting was substituted. Today, this greeting is either hello or hi.
