As a retired master sergeant, I love that this young man is more afraid of his sergeant than he is of the secretary of defense.
He was following orders and doing exactly what he was trained to do. 🫡

Dear @SecWar Pete Hegseth,
You are just a POS with no respect for fallen American soldiers.
You can't spin or explain this.
Your wife can't get you out of it.
Your own mother told us who you were.
Your mother was right.

I have been to Arlington several times, and have seen members of the "Old Guard" do the exact same thing to anyone who loudly talks or laughs. The ONLY time I've seen them be less...vociferous...is with small children.
Still, I bet he's on a plane to Antactica by tonight. Better make it a heavy to compensate for the weight of his cojones.
A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.
Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.
