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.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” the sentinel called out, stopping his patrol to face the group as they departed.

Jerk didn’t even seem to care. I bet he turns around and tries to get the Sentinel reprimanded.

    I kind of hope they punish the sentinel. This would assure Hegseth’s impeachment and removal.

          Because AIPAC held a meeting, and a bunch of Dems got ‘caught in traffic’ trying to leave that meeting and drive to Congress, and missed the fucking vote … all while our the fucking wannabe House Majority Leader didn’t even think to fucking whip votes.

          Theres so much rat fucking going on that we are gonna need Dale goddamned Gribble to clear out this incestuous traitorous mess.

          Fuck it why not? We got Batman and Spiderman out in person fighting fascism these days, I’m sure somebody can well cosplay wily ole Dale.

            Next cycle all those “centrist” dems who fight against the legacy of FDR and MLK need to get primaried. Especially that sellout Jeffries.

            How many “Dems got stuck in traffic,” exactly? Wasn’t it like 2? And do we know they attended this event knowing AIPAC money was involved? It was sponsored by a front group, right?

              This is one of the reasons they have staff, to research these groups so the rep knows who they are associating with, accepting money from. If they fail at that, then they are bad at their job and need to be primaried.

            Republican Thomas Massie filed this. He was going to file it in September, but in order to stop that, Republican House Speaker and Crazy Person Mike Johnson cancelled all House sessions until after the election. The House didn’t work between Sep 16th and Nov 9th as a result

        If Hegseth punished an eternal flame sentinel for doing his duty? Yeah, I’m pretty sure there are ten republican senators who would vote to remove that embarrassment to save themselves from a primary in the next cycle. Hell, the White House would probably fire Hegseth over that move.

        Exactly

        The narrative is already that the soldier was doing exactly as they’re meant to, so removal is unfair. An exception just for Hegseth, who was disrespecting the vets.

        That’s a double-whammy for his already poor reputation with the forces.
