    Imagine having the time/place/authority align to yell at the SecDef without consequence… Or with, I guess we’ll see, but I love it regardless.

      Guarantee his promotions and such will be “mysteriously” denied, and any subjective performance reviews will similarly “mysteriously” state he’s just not quite meeting expectations any more.

      He knows what’s coming and did it anyway. If the next president is a sane one, they’d better give this motherfucker a medal.

        “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal to Army Specialist Thomas Iglesias, the sentinel who loudly reprimanded Hegseth and his entourage for laughing and talking at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Veterans Day events.”

        His leadership could give him a medal now. As long as they keep it on the low end, which is all this deserves anyways.

        The sad thing is, the medal could either be cover for mysteriously denying the soldier promotions, could be given out of genuine respect for the soldier showing Kegsbreath that his idea of “manly men” still exists in this world, or a sign of defeat from Kegsbreath.

        Hahahahah, you don’t need to “@” people you’ve replied directly to.

        He’s genuinely a piece of shit. This was a nice surprise though

      He will be punished, likely solitary confinement for a year or two

          Without confirming it myself, that immediately signals to me that they’re gonna start doing outrage moments and then flipping the outrage into micro wins.

          Edit: 1000x more than they already fucking do. I hope all these bastards taste nothing but napalm when they rot in hell, truthfully.

        The tomb has been guarded continuously since 1948, even during rain and snow. I know it’s an honor to guard it, but to me that seems like punishment.

          It’s more than a mere honor. Look up some videos about how those guards live and train. It’s a big deal to be chosen for that role.

          The entire way we treat our armed servicemen is quite literally all a way to subjugate them into being docile little bitches for their managers, which is why we were easily couped by the most idiotic Russian leader of all time
