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.
Removal? Military and vets wouldn’t stand for it no matter the side your on
If Hegseth punished an eternal flame sentinel for doing his duty? Yeah, I’m pretty sure there are ten republican senators who would vote to remove that embarrassment to save themselves from a primary in the next cycle. Hell, the White House would probably fire Hegseth over that move.
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.
Sorry but military and vets haven’t been doing shit
