Tomb of the Unknown Soldier-Guard calls out crowd

[@nathankaye1577]

Being a UK military personal, I admire the American respect, their movement was perfect, hours and weeks even months to train to do this. Absolutely perfect, brothers in arms!

[@站在反对邪恶醒来帮助]

Yeah...lots of wasted hours to do silly movements. No skill involved in walking.

[@MaplePanda04]

站在反对邪恶醒来帮助 It’s not walking, it’s marching with a very specific pattern each time. The exact number of steps and the seconds between each step are specific. It’s not easy.

[@站在反对邪恶醒来帮助]

Eric Chen, marching and walking are the same thing. The pattern they are marching to is not difficult at all. This is very easy. I would say it's similar to Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk or some other choreographed minor dance move. A very slow version of a fraternity/sorority step show. Anyway, it's not some super difficult thing to do. It's basic choreographed movements. Nowhere near as complex as the easiest series of choreographed dance moves. Just saying.

[@mattb9910]

站在反对邪恶醒来帮助 have you ever marched wearing full kit in the blazing sun for several hours

[@站在反对邪恶醒来帮助]

Snipernoob I have run 10 miles wearing a 50lb weighted vest in the blazing sun. Have you ever done that? Walking wearing a uniform in the sun is nothing. I also ran up and down Koko Head Crater in Hawaii (690ft) three times back to back in the blazing hot sun and I went all the way to the top every time, not just where the tracks end.

To some people that isn't 'drill' as its somewhat theatrical, formulated and exaggerated. The inspection at the start is an example.

They died for a rich elitist not Americans

[@noltonwoods3503]

rezsurfer I will not deny that elitists did make money off of these wars however the reasons for entering them did not involve financial gain for certain groups. You can demonize the US as a war machine profiting off of the death, however there has only been 3 recent (past ~100 years) conflicts that I can argue that were indeed influenced by profit such as the the Arab Spring, and the Syrian Civil War. The War of Terror can also be argued to be for profit which I can not deny but at the same time it wasn't entirely. The rest of the conflicts were primarily focused on maintaining peace and warring ideologies. I am willing to argue and defend these points if you object to them as well.

He spoke no English so my wife interpreted for him. He shook hands and cried some more and the young guys just were thrilled to meet him.I was so proud of those young men and thanked them for their service on my Father in laws behalf and for me as well.

[@cracklingvoice]

I keep seeing people insist that the weapon carried by the guard is loaded. While it is a fully-functional rifle, it is not loaded. The rifle is an M14, which has a large magazine that extends out of the bottom of the receiver. Also, if you watch a video of the guard change, you will see the sergeant of the guard inspect the interior of the weapon after the bolt has been locked to the rear. Were the weapon loaded, a round would be extracted from the chamber and ejected out. The sergeant would also not be able to look into the interior of the weapon through the magazine well, as it would be obstructed by the magazine. However, the soldier guarding it is highly trained in bayonet drill and has no issue defending that tomb from any and all threats. People forget that the soldiers who guard the Tomb are overwhelmingly drawn from combat roles, especially infantry. With the constant wars the United States has been involved in, there is a high probability that the guard is a combat veteran. In addition to that, the Tomb is guarded by the 3rd Infantry Regiment, which does still have line combat battalions. So no, the weapon is not loaded. Attempting to approach the Tomb will probably get you a bayonet to the chest, and it will be your fault.

People just don’t know how to behave out in public. For God’s sake, people behave better at the singing of our national anthem at ball games than at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers.

MonkigunMkII Flash Very on target comment. The last sentence is ESPECIALLY succinct and DELICOUSLY indulgent! I LOVED it!

Good job by the guard, it was appropriate to correct the crowd noise.

Watching this I'm very proud to be an American I love our soldiers God bless you

Never forget to respect other armies and their soldiers.

[@shyryTsr2k]

@@dankovac1609 If they're our allies than sure. But I don't respect at all an army that kills my country's soldiers/people.

[@dankovac1609]

@@shyryTsr2k yeah, but you must give them at least the same treatment if they're a fully honoured trained army, as they are soldiers. Not the same army, but in the military as a whole, they are honoured. That's what i believe. But, of course for example, you can't respect an insurgent or the terrorists the same way you respect rival trained soldiers.

He even says the request respectfully, if not a bit loud, to both make the point and not scare young ones and those who don't know any better. I think watching these guards is very fascinating, the precise movements and control they have is truly amazing.

[@garkillack-7265]

luuk 024 you’re so uneducated and your claims prove that. You are a generic disrespectful 13 year old I’ve come across many times in the comment sections. These are soldiers that are good at multiple things besides doing just this. And even then it’s harder than you think. I’d love to see you try. Pathetic kid. They’re also trained to do this under many conditions, such as kinds of weather weather. You don’t see the reality of things and appreciate what you have and what has been done to get you where you’re at. You know literally nothing.

[@garkillack-7265]

luuk 024 you obviously don’t know what it stands for if you were just asking yourself “why” while you were there. They train for a lot more than just “walking” as you see it. I have to explain everything in great detail for you to understand even a little bit.

[@garkillack-7265]

luuk 024 hahaha. I’m sure you do man. I’m sure you do. This “waste of tax money” probably affects you a couple dollars a year, plus these are usually vets or still serving soldiers that can do much other things. The fact that you think this is a waste and can’t see any other way blows my mind that you can’t even see it a little bit. May not mean anything to you but it means a lot to other people, so if I were you I’d keep my opinions about this to yourself bud.

[@MrJhollowell]

The difference is they do it because they want too, not because they have too, sure anybody could do it but would they? No they would not.

[@ultra3806]

luuk 024 can you stfu and stop posting these comments everywhere thanks

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

their feet have worn stains exactly where every step is taken since they dedicated this. when I noticed this watching a video I was brought to tears. These men and women love their job and perform it with precision and love of country.

[@charlesdavis5803]

Brian Baumgarn ..and just think. Generation after generation of young men AND women, have gone through the gruelling process to walk that path. To be a Tomb Guard is a very rare detail to get selected for. The quality of training showes. I was on the Alexandria Police Dept Honor Guard. We trained with the 3rd Platoon, platoon seargeant and 1st squad leader. Gave us very good pointers on our D and C. Our honor guard was one of the best in the region.

SHAME ON THAT CROWD!! I traveled from Seattle to pay my respects to my two uncles and grandfather buried there...I attended this ceremony (on a different day) and I cried. God bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Put down your phones. Respect the moment. This is a tomb.

[@jasonfischer8946]

Including the phone that recorded the video you watched?

[@strangebrew1231]

No. Take your phones out and take plenty of pictures. You really think military people feel disrespected by people being on their phones? They're a little more tougher than you give them credit for

[@sunsky4549]

You guys he means put down the phones to actually have a moment of true silence for these soldiers that kept our country safe; just because you film a video or take pictures doesn’t mean your giving true respect. There’s plenty of videos and pictures to stare at later. Take the time to be somber and have a little human emotion to these unknown soldiers that fought to keep our country free.

The Sentinel was/is correct. Do we yell at out parents' cemetery? No. But because Arlington National Cemetery is home to several thousand dead soldiers, airmen, sailors, etc., there's always a few in the crowd to stir things up. The Sentinel stepped of the Mat when he adressed the crowd because tht Mat is solely for The Walk. *The Mat is changed twice a year; before the gates open on Memorial Day (May 30), and November 11 (the end of World War I)

I have a few friends buried there and it irritates me that these people do not show the proper respect to those who fell unknown

This is amazing to see. When I was there they had to reprimand some visitors in a similar manner. Oh, and they're not guards, they're sentinels.
