You say this same thing for Purple Heart recipients?

Being a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown's is not simply a "job at work" you imbecile.

What does that have to do with it being inappropriate and disrespectful? There are numerous situations where your behavior can be objectively awful without breaking any laws or rules. Posing for a photo (probably with a smile on his face because, let's be honest, who wants to look sad in a group photo) there is making it about yourself when that place is anything and everything but that. Show me anyone else doing it and I'll have the same opinion.


It struck me as a strange play, the way they were all crouched down and eagerly posing together with the tomb (and presumably the soldier guard) in the background, as if they were some corporate group that got sideline passes for a college football game pregame, posing for a "fun pic" on the field.

FYI…None of these communists who have demanded that patriotic statues, tradition, heritage, etc…be destroyed actually care about any of this.

These people are often triggered just by the sight of the American flag.

You’re ascribing disrespectfulness to Hegeth’s actions that is completely baseless. It’s not disrespectful to take a photograph at that place. Even the people that run the tomb of the unknown soldier put videos of it online. It’s not even something that’s frowned upon in the slightest.

It’s interesting to me how big of a deal was made of this. I would say over half my visits to the tomb, the sentinel, has to correct someone in the same manner. It’s the same loudness and pace every time it happens
