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.

      What bothers me more, is that it can be arranged. There’s rules regarding it of course.

      But that’s the problem with this regime - they don’t believe rules apply to them.

        Even here, if you watch the video the Sentinel tolerated the photo, even though it was probably a violation itself. It was only when they started yucking it up, and one member of the party split the air with a cackle, that they were all shouted down. They can’t even be happy with the special privilege they’ve already extracted.

          That’s what I’m realizing about these people. They don’t have a concept of “enough.” Its always “more.”

          “If you Give a Mouse a Cookie” except its if you give them anything. All the way up to capitulation of land at an international level.
