In case you've never been to the Tomb of the Unknown Guard in Arlington National Cemetery and in case you're not the Secretary of Defense and in case you're unaware of basic decorum at a solemn memorial, there are signs there reminding you to be quiet and respectful.

There is zero evidence that Hegseth was disrespectful.

And there is no video showing Hegseth being disrespectful. Full stop.

Can we make sure that the Secretary of Defense gets the memo?

When my husband & I visited the Vietnam Memorial Wall everyone there was silent as they walked around or stopped at the name of a loved one. Everyone was respectful & it has the same feeling as being in a cathedral.

You’d think the Secretary of War would at least know the rules!

I remember going there in 6th grade & our whole class was quiet & respectful. Elementary kids act with more respect than fucking grown up assholes.

My first visit there as a kid, and I knew better than to be disrespectful and loud. 😑

He'd be the life of the party at the Anne Frank house.

My mom took us when I was 9. I didn't get yelled at by the sentry. Drunk fuck Hegseth did. He needs to resign.

I was 7 when I visited this memorial with my family. I knew better than to misbehave without any signs or admonishments. Hegseth is truly a piece of work.

Are you allowed to take pictures in front of the tomb? It’s giving 👇 vibes. I’ve never been to Arlington but my mom taught us how to behave in a graveyard ffs. When we were in kindergarten.

When I was there I’m not sure anyone even spoke. And doesn’t it absolutely figure that the Sentinel had to quiet someone within The Defense Secretary’s group? So disrespectful.

We took our kids to observe the changing of the guard when I was stationed at the Pentagon. They were 5 & 7 years old. We were standing on the steps across from the tomb & our son looked at me & whispered, “This is like church, right?” I whispered back, “Yes, yes it is.”

It’s such a solemn service to witness, I can’t believe the total disrespect the “leader” of the military showed. He is so unqualified.

These people don't have to follow rules because they're elite in their own minds.

I was there in 2008 to respect my William who died in 2004

1. I hope he is barred from being buried there. 2. I don’t remember those signs being there. Must be new, since that whole Aug 2024 debacle happened.

And if you were not a disgraceful, self absorbed @SecWar , ooops DEFENSE, you would understand it. It is a place for solemn remembrance. A day to honor those that served. Not photo ops.

They don't think the rules apply to them.🤬

Oh, surely you jest! Those reminders are for the ordinary public, the tourists, not the Trump royalty.

But, but, but, you have to be able to read!

Pretty sure those signs don’t apply to important people, Charlotte.
