The Army Sentinels who guard the tomb of the unknown soldier do so day and night, through rain, snow, and blistering heat. They do it out of respect, and they deserve our respect, as do those in the tomb.
But when Defense Secretary Hegseth came through with a gaggle of prominent adults, they breezed past the signs calling for "silence" and "respect", and started taking pictures, laughing and posing as if they were backstage at the circus, taking snapshots with clowns and acrobats.
The Sentinel on duty quickly and firmly told all there the proper way to act, and the proper volume to do it at ("silent.")
It couldn't have been easy, telling your boss he's wrong, but it was the right thing to do, it was his duty, and even though Hegseth didn't acknowledge him, he clearly got the message.
Maybe if Hegseth (and the rest of the cabinet) had the same courage, they would pushed back on Trump the many times when we was wrong, instead of just enabling a series of disaters.
Add Your Name: "We Thank The Army Sentinel Who Called Out Secretary Hegseth for His Behavior at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier."
