BREAKING: WOW. Pete Hegseth and his entourage get PUBLICLY CALLED OUT by an Army sentinel for disrespecting America's fallen heroes at Arlington Cemetery. On this Veteran’s Day, the service member most deserving of extra honor is the Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery today when Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of advisors arrived for a visit.Now, one thing you must know about the tomb guards at Arlington is that they take the practice of respectful silence while visiting the memorial to unidentified war casualties so seriously that they will call out anyone who breaks it.So, you can imagine the cojones it must have taken for the Army sentinel to loudly castigate Hegseth and his pals for laughing and joking while they were taking photos in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, one of the most sacred war memorials in the country, in an incident captured on video by CNN. “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!” the sentinel yelled, in a rebuke that would embarrass anyone (except perhaps a shameless member of Donald Trump’s cabinet). Hegseth was there after a Veterans Day ceremony with his wife, Jennifer, his chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver, and senior adviser Tami Radabaugh, according to CNN. After the reprimand, the group kept walking up the steps.The tomb holds an unidentified American soldier who died in World War I. Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry have guarded it 24 hours a day since 1948. They do it in rain, snow, and hurricanes, and they change the guard every half hour. Visitors are expected to stay silent, and, incredulously, a young soldier had to remind the man in charge of the entire military.Why was Hegseth’s group in such a good mood? Well, the night before, Hegseth was celebrating with Donald Trump after House Republicans voted to send an impeachment resolution against him to committee, which effectively killed it.The articles weren’t filed by a Democrat. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky accused Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution, failing to minimize civilian casualties, and carrying out extrajudicial killings. The current Republican majority in the House made those charges go away, and the next day Hegseth went to Arlington.Look at his record. He’s running a war in Iran that has killed at least 19 Americans and wounded more than 820. Sailors on deployment have tried to take their own lives. He gutted the program meant to reduce civilian deaths over the unanimous objections of his own generals. In a speech to Marines, he used a slur. He fired a decorated combat general and referred him for prosecution without showing any evidence. And his wife has been paid by a firm that represents Lockheed Martin.Now there’s video of a soldier on duty having to correct him at a tomb for the war dead.The Pentagon didn’t respond to media requests for comment, but we’re sure that veterans will have some choice comments of their own about the incident. The Massie impeachment effort may be over, but expect another impeachment attempt once Democrats take control of the House in January.On Veterans Day, the sentinel showed more respect for the fallen than the people running the Pentagon did. Every one of our veterans deserves leaders who understand why that silence matters. As long as Hegseth and other Trump minions control the Pentagon, veterans won’t get what they deserve.
They should have a limit on the number of letters you can have in a post, when you reach it, that's it.
Afternoon 'sidekick',All we see here is another 'individual' that doesn't like what I post here!Please address this to the admin! Hopefully, they will do this for you!Thanks for posting.
Some of your posts aren't bad, just too long.The first 2 paragraphs were okay, the rest was just overkill. Nobody wants to read something that long. What administrators?

I agree he personally did no wrong. What he should have done is brief all his guests on the protocol for the site they were visiting. This way all this nonsense could have been avoided.
There is such a thing as common sense! He shouldn't have put himself in this position in the 1st place. Don't blame the media for this!
Did I blame the media?
