@Michaela probably because that if you make a noise they’ll point a rifle at you. Idk.

[@netherremains]

@Michaela Actually, they HAVE pointed their rifle at people for not following orders. They usually just yell at you for approaching the tomb or making noise. However, if you continue to approach the tomb or continue to not follow their instructions they CAN point their rifle at you. I haven't heard of anyone getting shot yet, but they ARE serious with this.

[@tylersmart6488]

@Michaela No, these aren't just regular soldiers. These are Tomb Guards, or Sentinels. Its medal is the 3rd rarest title in the entire US Military. Think of it like the Queen's Guard in the UK. They are very much allowed and encouraged to first yell at anyone breaking or bending the rules, and they are very much allowed to aim their (usually unloaded, barring times of high security measures) rifles at people who continue to disobey their direct orders. The Guards' first priority is to respect and uphold the dignity of the tomb. Being there is a privilege, and they will enforce that.

[@josephbennett3482]

There are two major differences in our military service members and the British Queens Guard's , our men have very Very short Tempers and will only speak once before they beat the individuals ass and second our guys have loaded weapons unlike the British Queens Guard's where they only use foot stomping and rifle pointing as a deterrent to people breaking into the Queen's property. If you notice our guys have a handgun on their right side which is loaded at all times the rifle on the other hand is never loaded and there is no telling if they have ammunition in the green shack since they don't disclose that information due to security reasons.

[@k_caravet]

The queen's guards reserve the right to use force to remove someone from an area - its just most don't.

[@jvjv2138]

Both the queens guards and these are a joke just grown men playing soldier if i want to see acting i would just go to the theatre for a better show. They should put agents trained like secret service not these grown men acting like rotc kids

[@boysofsummitt5676]

i’ll never forget my 8th grade class trip to d.c. Our group chaperone was a veteran, there was a kid acting up and running during the ceremony, after my chaperone found him and told him that he was lucky he didn’t get yelled at, and that if it was him guarding he would have shot the kid. The kid then ran off and shortly later we ran into him and he apologized to our chaperone. I will always remember how discrespetcfull the kid was and how my chaperone handeled the situation. love you mr.zinz

That water bottle is disrespectful, even when he told everyone to stand the bottle remained down instead of standing up straight.

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

What I love is that not only did one of the guards kick the water bottle, but the guard following alongside him elongated his foot the same as his friend who was kicking the bottle, so they both stayed perfectly in sync, even though only one was kicking the bottle. Now that's precision.
