Mad respect to this guard for telling Pete Hegseth to basically “shut the fuck up”. You’re a patriot sir 🫡 🫡

An E-1 reprimanding the Secretary of Defense. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On Veterans Day.

Those 3rd Infantry Regiment guards walk 21 steps and pause for 21 seconds in all weather to honor unknown service members, so watching them have to scold Pete Hegseth and Ricky Buria for chatting and laughing after a photo op is honestly embarrassing

When the Secretary of Defense and his entourage desecrate The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier they all should be fired. Period. Fired by the Commander in Chief.

I bet that soldier or other guards haven’t had to yell at anyone for a long time.

Wasn't it the Republicans who recently lost their minds over AOC and Mayor Mamdani smiling and sharing a brief laugh during the 9/11 memorial ceremony? These guys must not have gotten the memo. 😄😄

I’m ashamed to be an American. I went there when I was in 7th grade and I can still hear the sound of those soldiers marching in the rain that day. Silence at ALL times!!!!!!

I find this post to be incredibly insensitive too “Happy” Veterans Day ? I think it would make more sense to say “thank you for your service”

The entire Trump admin is an international embarrassment and a profound insult to the men and women who served this country.

He is quite simply a horrible human being. Racist, white Christian Nationalist crusader, misogynist, xenophobic, fascist... The US will be paying the price for his hubris and murderous intent for decades. Republicans are also horrible & need to be out of power for decades, too.

Absolutely disgraceful from a Defense Secretary. Nothing is solemn, nothing garners respect from these people.

Defense Secretary needs a private to publicly correct his whole crew for treating the Tomb like a casual photo spot and laughing after the ceremony. On Veterans Day. The troops see exactly what kind of empty costume this is.

Jesus fucking Christ we have people leading the military that don’t even respect our fallen.. I have no words, they’re cutting the VA funding and now making a mockery of patriots that have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of this country. January can’t come soon enough.

Another Rupar clip, which ALWAYS reverses the meaning of what was said and happened. So, for now, unlike the moronic, seal clapping liberals, I will wait to see who actuall laughed. CNN=fake news

Hegseth is a disgrace to the very end. Even at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, his entourage had to be told to show some respect.

Pete Hegseth will probably fire the Marine and then even spin THAT.
