Pete Hegseth Reprimanded by Guard at Arlington National Cemetery

hotnews.ro (Romanian) —

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was sharply reprimanded by a guard at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday for talking and laughing near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day. Video shows Hegseth and his entourage taking photos at the memorial when a sentinel shouted that all visitors must maintain silence and respect at all times. The Pentagon spokesman said the soldier correctly reminded everyone to maintain decency. The incident drew criticism from Democrats, with one lawmaker saying Hegseth continues to show his unsuitability for the role. Hegseth recently survived an impeachment attempt by a Republican congressman over alleged unauthorized war actions against Iran.
