Defense Minister Hegseth reprimanded for disrespectful behavior at monument
Hegseth visited Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day with his wife and officials, where he was reprimanded for disrespectful behavior at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The military guard reminded them of the need for silence and respect. Following recent midterm election losses, Hegseth faces criticism from fellow Republicans, who blame him for the party's defeat and his role in advocating for the Iraq War. An impeachment effort against the defense secretary was initiated but blocked by party members, with renewed attempts likely now that Democrats hold majorities in Congress.
