A soldier yelled at Pete Hegseth and others for behaving disrespectfully at a memorial.

A soldier reprimanded Pete Hegseth and his advisors for disrespectful behavior at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The incident occurred during a photo opportunity after a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Hegseth and his team were warned by a patrol officer to maintain silence and respect at the memorial, which honors unidentified soldiers from World War I. This event added to Hegseth's recent media attention, as a Republican representative attempted to initiate impeachment proceedings against him, which ultimately failed. Thomas Massie had sought support from dissatisfied Republicans but did not gain traction.
