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.

    Every service member knows to be reverent at the Tomb. They are also under orders to assist in maintaining such reverence in those visiting.

    something any soldier knows Only the Army has soldiers as lower enlisted, the rest are Sailors, Airmen, or Marines.

    And you’re right, it’s pretty fucked up for SecDef to be around anyone who could be reprimanded at the Tomb. He was a shithead when he served and he’s aged like milk since then.
