A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
Video shows Hegseth taking photos on the empty steps in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser Tami Radabaugh.
As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted that “all visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”
I don’t want this soldier to get caught in the crossfire, but I’d kinda like to see them make the mistake of coming for his career. This guard position isn’t just given to anyone. It’s kinda like The King’s Guards at Buckingham palace. This isn’t some 18 year old boot, he’s very likely a badass with a distinguished record.
edit cause I’m redundant when tired
