Hegseth and entourage laugh and did a little act at The Tomb of Unknown Soldier on Veteran's Day and they were taught some manners by a guard

Title fixed because some people just can't help themselves.

Yes, I read a few articles yesterday regarding the incident. The SecDef stood up and owned it. Unlike a former President who clearly couldn't be bothered during a dignified transfer at Dover.

For those who have never visited The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to pay their respects, that is one area you do NOT disrespect.
 
The irony is staggering. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a private publicly reprimanded the Secretary of Defense: "Everyone must remain silent and respectful." He glanced back. Didn't stop. Kept walking.

What kind of man is this? The video says it all.

What are ordinary American soldiers thinking right now?

Still willing to die for this?

A man who admitted his mistake and followed that by giving the Specialist recognition for doing his job.

Unlike a commander-in-chief who clearly couldn't be bothered at a dignified transfer of those who gave their lives for this country. Really? Looking at his watch with a face of contempt and "when will this be over?"

No need to emphasize your points in bold red. We get it. If given the choice who I'd rather serve under, it's not a hard choice to make.

What comes naturally is who someone really is.

Isn't everything after that just PR spin to clean up the mess?

I'd guess most ordinary American soldiers don't share your view.

On another note, do you really think he has the chops to serve as the U.S. Secretary of Defense?

I actually looked at my watch during a Dignified Transfer.......As well as in a military funeral. And I did it when I was doing CNO as my TDY, but that was before I notified the casualty's NOK. None of that means I want to know when it was over?

I seriously do not understand why this is a problem for many people when Fox started blasting Biden...And to be honest with you, I would have a problem more talking loudly and laughing in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier than having to check the time for whatever reason during a dignified transfer.

Now, REPEATEDLY looking at the watch, that's a different story

It's like Trump wearing a hat during the Dignified Transfer of the soldier who was killed in Kuwait (Which is strange, as Fox and Co never picked up on that).....I mean it's just an objectively different opinion. People may be offended by Biden looking at his watch, and people may be offended by Trump wearing a hat, but I don't see that as a big thing. It's only political when it becomes an issue.

By the way, the official protocol for civilian is to remove their hat and place it in front of their heart, only Military Member can have cover on.......

You do know it is a political position, right?

And that there have been far worse appointments, right?

But that likely means little to you.
