A sentinel at Arlington Cemetery reprimands Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for talking and laughing near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, faced criticism after a group he was with was reprimanded for disrespectful behavior at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A sentinel reminded visitors to maintain silence and respect during a ceremony honoring veterans. This incident comes amid political pressure on Hegseth, as a Republican congressman initiated impeachment proceedings against him, citing issues related to the Iran war and Venezuela. Despite this, President Trump expressed his support for Hegseth, praising his performance during the Veterans Day ceremony.
