A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.

lmao the only thing that would make this sweeter is if the boot marine who yelled at them got thrown in the hold too for insulting his betters.

    Being former military, I can tell you this shit is sacred in many circles, especially among the brass. There’s a non-zero chance that if Kegsbreath tries to have that soldier fired, there could be a public refusal of orders. Not saying a good chance, but non-zero.

    Edit: also, I think I read someplace that they can now identify the soldiers (yes, there’s several) remains, but the DoD refuses to so they can continue to do this jingoistic ritual.
