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.

    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.
