Guard reprimands Hegseth's group at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

aljazeera.com —

A video shows a military guard reprimanding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's entourage for laughing during a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday. The Army sentinel yelled at the group to maintain silence and respect, with the Pentagon spokesperson saying the guard responded correctly. The incident occurred on Veterans Day amid political scrutiny of Hegseth. Hegseth narrowly avoided an impeachment vote Tuesday, facing criticism over unauthorized actions including strikes on alleged drug boats and weakening civilian casualty rules. He has also pursued culture war policies like banning transgender service members.
