Yet another example of the lack of respect for fallen soldiers by Pres Trump and those in his administration.

That aside, the Sec of Defense should know better than allow this to occur within his entourage.

Who the FUCK laughs at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? I've been there multiple times. There's never been anything but the heaviness, the weight of respect, and awe.

Hegseth is a joke.

Now, lets hope this member of the 'Old Guard', who took it upon himself to remind Hegseth and his party where they were and what the expectations were for those visiting Arlington National Cemetery, and in particular, the Tombs of the Unknowns, that he suffers no repercussions for him doing his duty.

Every Republican alive today would gladly laugh at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier, and flip him the bird, if it meant lowering their taxes 1%.

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (1985)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
This song was released in 1985 as the closer to the album of the same name and is the third single from it, reaching #16 in the UK that October. It did not chart in the US.

The song is about the brotherly bonds forged by the destructive fire and pains of war. A bond between soldiers on both sides of the trenches. It focuses on the Falklands War, which was going on when Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler wrote the song in 1982. The Falklands War was a conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claims rights to. A new version of the song was released in 2007 by Knopfler in order to raise money to bring veterans of the war back to the Falklands as a way to treat their PTSD.

The video shows images of World War I, which corresponds with the theme of the song about war and brothers in arms.

The song is reported to be the first ever released as a CD single. It was released in the UK in 1985.

[Verse 1]
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

[Verse 2]
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

What can you say that hasn't been said? Hegseth is a disrespectful ogre. A weak man's version of a tough guy.

That young man brings honor to his mission and those entombed where he stands sentinel. Firing a few rounds from his Pershing rifle would have made it real for all involved. Given Drinky Pete's shallow countenance the soldier will be reassigned to Iceland by the end of the day ...

Republicans are avoiding this thread like the plague because they don't give two shits about Veterans and they never have.
