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.”

    Tomorrow’s headline: “Department of War to court marshall soldier who reprimanded Hegseth and his associates because he’s a trans, commie, Muslim fatty.”

    Why would any US commander respect troops? It’s like the one person least likely to value their lives. They sent them to die to cover up pedophilia. The difference between reverence in the Trump vs Biden admin is as diametrically opposed as possible and the party who strokes off the military the most is on board. Virtue signaling is all the entire party ever was.

    The pentagons top spokesman, not Hegseth made a vanilla plain statement.

    That is in itself the statement which says “I will try to maintain the illusion respecting the lives given in the past and those we put at risk today”.
