Story summary

Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary, and his entourage were reprimanded by an on-duty guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery during a Veterans Day visit. The incident occurred after some individuals in Hegseth’s group laughed and took selfies, prompting a guard to issue a stern warning: "All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!" Hegseth was accompanied by his wife Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver, and senior adviser Tami Radabaugh. The group did not acknowledge the reprimand, continuing to move away from the tomb. It is unclear if there will be any repercussions for those involved.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
