Pentagon chief reprimanded at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for photo breach

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his staff were verbally reprimanded by a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for violating decorum rules. Video shows Hegseth taking photos on the steps with his wife and three staff members, followed by a loud laugh, prompting the guard to shout that all visitors must maintain silence and respect. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the soldier correctly reminded the group to maintain decorum. The incident occurred less than a day after Hegseth narrowly survived an impeachment effort in Congress, which Democrats are expected to renew when they take control in January. Rep. Gwen Moore called the behavior evidence of his unfitness for office.
