The Old Guard should march over and bayonet his arse!

The Old Guard, which is an Army Unit, guard the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.

I agree.
THIS ... is crossing the line.
You simply do not frick around when it comes to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Yeah ... ain't gonna lie ... this pisses me off. I have shrugged off pretty much everything else.

They usually don't frick around at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They will call out little kids for breaking protocol there.
PS- frick that dude.

My mistake, of course. Brain farts happen.

Why would someone GO TO the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to do that?
That's just an a-hole

ETA: Apparently they do correct or silence the crowd as necessary.

There are youtube clips of the sentinel asking for respectful conduct - at attention of course.

Now imagine how that's going to play on Youtube - clips of protestors throwing hands with the Old Guard - you just think public opinion is against them now.

I feel as thought people should feel free to peacefully and silently protest at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier because the Unknown Soldier gave his life so that people could feel free to peacefully protest his Tomb.
In fact, as a show of Unity, everybody should go to the Tomb and lie down and take a nap, including the Old Guard members because we need this Unity.

I mistakenly wrote Marine, when obviously they are Army, but as has been pointed out they can and do ask for correct behavior when it is warranted. Now I can't imagine them ever getting into a fist fight, but they wouldn't have to, if someone ever laid hands on the Guard there are capitol police within arm's distance at all times.

Someone really needs to slap him upside his nappy head.
Do young black males really hate America that much?

That's refreshing as it tells me home training is still a thing in this country.
That or those with no home training don't make it to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier very often.
Either way, it's good news.

This isn't even edgy, cool, or progressive. It's straight up attention whoring and disrespectful. The scum kneeling is a true POS.
