Handling disrespect at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider

Post by WCF3030 »

That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error.

Why would you visit the tomb of the Unknowns and act the fool while there? If they want to behave like that, they should go to MacDonald's instead of Arlington.

God bless those who sacrificed so much so others can "occupy"--or what-ever... code-4

I noticed he stepped off of the runner, and while forceful, was polite and respectful. I'm wondering if there's a reason for leaving the runner. And, of course, having two of my own, Marines have a way of being "forceful", and they are also taught to be "respectful". A couple of things one heck of a lot of today's youngsters could do to learn.

Not Marines...Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) :wink: With Marines, although they would do a heck of a job, you'd have to retrain them after every three day weekend. :P

I agree - how could you possibly visit such sacred ground and act like a fool.

Wish they'd have live rounds in their weapons. And a license to enforce the respect due!!! :twisted:

There's a reason the USMC uses a fouled anchor as its icon.
