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.”

    Anyone thinking that a single individual in this administration gives the slightest fuck about our military personnel has had their entire head firmly up their own asshole for a long, long time.

    I have personally never witnessed an administration disrespect our military this frequently.

      Unfortunately most service members are dumber than dirt.

      A cousin went into the army, came back and said he was voting for Trump. I asked why, when he’s disrespected veterans like our grandfather?

      “Cuz Trump has balls!”
