Tomb guard scolds Hegseth for breaking decorum at Arlington ceremony

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his staff for breaking decorum after a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Video shows Hegseth taking photos on the tomb's steps with his wife and three staffers, followed by a loud laugh. The guard shouted that visitors must maintain silence and respect. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the soldier correctly reminded everyone to maintain decorum. The incident occurred less than a day after Hegseth narrowly survived an impeachment effort led by Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie. With Democrats set to control Congress in January, the effort is likely to be renewed. Hegseth defended himself, calling the resolutions sabotage.
