Defense Minister Hegseth reprimanded for disrespectful behavior at monument
Hegseth visited Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day with his wife and officials, where they disrespected the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The military guard reminded them of the expected silence and respect. Following recent midterm election losses, Hegseth faces criticism from Republicans, who blame him for the defeat. A Republican congressman initiated an impeachment attempt against the defense secretary, which was blocked, but further attempts are likely with Democrats now in control.
