Apparently no one told the Secretary of Defense and his homies how to act at this revered site until a sentinel set them straight:
"A group including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth broke decorum and was loudly admonished by the Army sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday.
Hegseth was accompanied by some of his senior staff for the annual Veterans Day ceremony when they stopped to take photos. In videos shared online, the group can be heard talking and laughing loudly enough for the sentinel to reprimand them.
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” he yelled.

I guess it's expecting too much of a drunk and his cronies to ever " maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect".
@no1marauder saidan honorable man would find his podium

@no1marauder saidI wonder if Kegbreath ever blows his nose into that ridiculous stars-n-stripes handkerchief of his.

@no1marauder saidOdds are good that the sentinel is going to catch hell for this, because—well, it needn't be said.

@no1marauder saidOne of things MAGA has brought to the world's attention is how many boorish people there always were in America.

@Great-Big-Stees saida more accurate application of "quotes"
Seems the secretary of war has awarded the “soldier” an medal.🤔😲😁
secretary of "war"
and
soldier
(since there is zero ambiguity of whether the man is, or is not, a soldier, quotes should be omitted)

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/11/12/politics/hegseth-awards-medal-soldier-reprimanded-him
when i first saw the story it was reported on cnn
but cnn led with two short advertisements and a plea for money
that why the link i provided was from the ap news conglomerate
i think it even had a short video of hegseth doing the pinniing of the medal
let's check on that honorable soldier/sentinel in 6 months
i have a wager on kalshi that he'll be stationed in antarctica
