From what I hear this is one of America's most sacred places. Hope the sentinel is promoted.
Edit: Typo.
Yup, and the orange pedo pissed on the sanctity of it during the 2024 election cycle when his people assaulted an Army employee so he could take campaign photos....which is strictly forbidden
Did they do anything it? No? Then it isn't forbidden. This country has thrown out all of its rules for that fat pedophile piece of shit
Its 100% honour position so there aren't any promotions. Its very strict position sort of like the guards of Buckingham palace. There's been a 24/7 watch there for years and the changing of the guard at the tomb is cool to watch if you've never seen it. Very precise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4utXb3auOew
(As far as has ever been reported, there's been a guard posted there uninterrupted for the past 89 years. It's hard to express how seriously people take this one.)
Looks like it, ya. The ceremony is full of symbolism too. Here is just an exerpt I found on it:
"The Tomb Guard marches exactly 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb, turns, faces east for 21 seconds, turns and faces north for 21 seconds, then takes 21 steps down the mat and repeats the process. (The number 21 symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed, the 21-gun salute.) Next, the Sentinel executes a sharp "shoulder-arms" movement to place the weapon on the shoulder closest to the visitors, signifying that he or she stands between the Tomb and any possible threat."

What’s up with the parentheses? I’ve never seen anyone make an entire comment in parentheses and there are two on this same post.
Ah sorry; that's a common tone indicator on other parts of the internet. It's used to indicate a polite aside or minor correction when truly not intending offense.
Nearly uninterrupted. There are very few times they aren't out there, and it's pretty much only due to hurricane force winds. Otherwise, it's 24/7.
If you have more information I am very curious - as far as I am aware, the closest it gets is when one of the guards is sheltering in the tent at the end of the carpet; I've never seen anything about there truly not being someone on duty. They have been very rarely allowed to leave due to things like hurricanes, but nobody has ever taken the offer.
They have been excused for hurricanes, but have chosen the remain on watch.
Kegsbreath will probably try to have him court martialed.
That's a truly sacred place that the regime has desecrated twice now. If you didn't know you need to be silent at the Tomb, you would pick it up quick. Throughout the cemetery there can be 20-30 funerals a day. But that doesn't quite touch it.
These remains represent everyone who didn't get a funeral. Everyone who didn't get to mourn their drafted son. Everyone who died because their choice to live was taken from them, and then their name lost to history.
It quite honestly feels like a bubble. It doesn't just get "quieter" near the tomb. There's an area around it where all you can hear are footsteps, the wind, and the repetition of the patrol movements.
Sounds like the woman laughing was it.
You are supposed to be dead silent at this Tomb. It's something any soldier knows. The Secretary should check the company he keeps if they don't understand that.
Every service member knows to be reverent at the Tomb. They are also under orders to assist in maintaining such reverence in those visiting.
something any soldier knows Only the Army has soldiers as lower enlisted, the rest are Sailors, Airmen, or Marines.
And you're right, it's pretty fucked up for SecDef to be around anyone who could be reprimanded at the Tomb. He was a shithead when he served and he's aged like milk since then.
Military are subservient to civilians. If a civilian chooses to laugh, fuck the jackbooted thug that tries to suppress them.
I fear that the soldier here should be punished for a different reason: he let a bunch of traitors track their dirty selves all over the place.
I kind of hope they punish the sentinel. This would assure Hegseth's impeachment and removal.
The impeachment failed
Failed so far
Because AIPAC held a meeting, and a bunch of Dems got 'caught in traffic' trying to leave that meeting and drive to Congress, and missed the fucking vote ... all while our the fucking wannabe House Majority Leader didn't even think to fucking whip votes.
Theres so much rat fucking going on that we are gonna need Dale goddamned Gribble to clear out this incestuous traitorous mess.
Fuck it why not? We got Batman and Spiderman out in person fighting fascism these days, I'm sure somebody can well cosplay wily ole Dale.
Not sure why they made the attempt before the leadership transfer from the midterms took place.
Republican Thomas Massie filed this. He was going to file it in September, but in order to stop that, Republican House Speaker and Crazy Person Mike Johnson cancelled all House sessions until after the election. The House didn't work between Sep 16th and Nov 9th as a result
Removal? Military and vets wouldn't stand for it no matter the side your on
"There are some very bad people that the Dumacrats have put in charge of guarding that cemetery. Very bad people. They never said anything like that to sleepy Joe. It's terrible what they get away with to make me look bad."
Did I get in to late to see this? I literally could not reach the video or article. I went through five different Cnn -cookie permission dialogs and everyone of them led to a series of advertisements? What is happening here? I honestly doubt that the video described in the headline exists. And if it does, I suppose it is S.I. (Stupor Intelligence).
here it's on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21Ty5uQ_RWQ
the reprimand happens in the last couple seconds. When somebody laughs while they go and leave
