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.
It’s the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, generally people mourn the known in other parts of the cemetary. I wouldn’t be surprised if the mood alone is enough to make people cry, but I believe if you’re loudly sobbing, a sentinel will still ask you to step away.
