WASHINGTON – A U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier scolded Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and his senior advisers for not being respectful after some members in the group laughed while posing for pictures in front of the memorial.

"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all time," the sentinel yelled, prompting Hegseth and other members of the group to turn around as they were walking away from the memorial. The incident, which was captured by television cameras, took place after a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

In addition to Hegseth, the group admonished by the sentinel included his chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver, senior adviser Tami Radabaugh and Hegseth's wife, Jennifer Hegseth. It was not clear which members of the group were laughing.

i identify so much w this meme since most of my cousins and i did something similar at my grandfather's funeral.

i did it because i knew that he never bothered to make amends for the neglectful alcoholism he exhibited to my mother and her older siblings and i know that most of my cousins did it because we all descend from a class low enough not to understand proper decorum in such situations.

either way, it was pleasing to see that my grandfather's second wife and adopted daughter HATED the fuck out of us for ostracizing him from the family for his behavior and that they literally had to pay a lot of money to watch us desecrate the memorial.

i can only hope that my own passing is so dramatic and completely unnoticeable to me. lol
