This one should make every Republican sick. Yesterday the House GOP lined up to save this man's job. Today a soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier had to tell his crew to be quiet and show respect, on Veterans Day. That soldier is our voter. Stop making him babysit the people running his war.

I served on active duty in The Old Guard, Headquarters Company, and the tomb guards go through even more extensive, grueling, training to protect and honor the solemn ground of the tomb and Arlington Cemetery. I truthfully hope they were not laughing during the ceremony.

There goes that soldier’s career if Trump admin behaves like usual. I’d give him a medal for reprimanding any despicable person laughing in that area, especially on Veterans Day.

Had this been Obama, the alt right and MAGA would be demanding the repealing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

You are such liars. Your own article sats "Some in the group were laughing and chatting after taking photos...". @SecWar was not called out specifically. Nor does your article say he was among the group reprimanded.

Hegseth has shown all along that he has no Respect for The members of the US military both alive and departed,Given how he has Treated the Widows and surviving family members of the personnel killed in the Current Illegal Iran War,His Humour is not Funny.

The highest authority at the Tomb wasn't the highest rank present. The sentinel could silence the Secretary's group because he serves no one there. He serves the dead. Rank answers to the living, and the living can be flattered. The sentinel answers to a name no one knows.

No, he shouted a reprimand to a female staffer who can be heard laughing. It’s about time you learned what journalism is, because it’s not what you do.

Good to know that my 8th graders are better behaved and more respectful at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier than the Secretary of Defense. 🤦‍♂️
