"Show some respect!" : a guard reprimands Pete Hegseth near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

During a Veterans Day ceremony, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was reprimanded by a soldier from the Old Guard for laughing near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The incident, which occurred in front of President Trump and Vice President Vance, sparked criticism from Democratic Representative Gwen Moore, who questioned Hegseth's respect for the memorial and his qualifications for the position. The Old Guard has been guarding the memorial since 1948, honoring soldiers from various wars. This incident followed a failed impeachment attempt against Hegseth by Republican Representative Thomas Massie, who accused him of unauthorized military actions against Iran.
