@simplyskilled Doubt the guards care if they are watched or not. I'm pretty sure that its an honor to be chosen as one who guards the tomb (yes, you have to be picked).
@bloodshot738 - Son, all I can say is you need to pay more attention in school. Then when you graduate go straight to the nearest recruiting station and enlist. When you are done with your tour of duty. I want you to come back to this video and post what you have learned and to reread your comments below. Your apologies will be well taken and respected once you have walked in the boots of a soldier.
Unknown Soldiers huh if they are unknown there are probably soldiers from diferent countries burried there probably Nazis hey its the Unknown so how they know who they have their....
@bloodshot738 They have an idea of who is buried, they don't know the actual identity of the soldier. Scientific analysis has shown however, that it is an AMERICAN SOLDIER. Look it up.
@bloodshot738 Unkown, it's not just a grave. It's a symbol for every single man and woman who have died serving their country.
Asking 'Why are people even bothering to guard the Tomb of the Unkown?' is like asking 'Why would someone get angry if i took a shit on their parents grave?'
@bloodshot738 Mostly, It's a symbol for any soldier who was ever, in a sense, "lost." The soldiers that were never found and never known of after their death on the battlefield. Almost like the POW MIA flag, "YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN." Even though they don't know who it is, the person won't be forgotten as a soldier.
@paradoxparody. You left a reply to my comment. At first I wasn't going to respond because I figured you to be a young kid trying to get a rise out of someone. Using words to incite instead of inspire. The only thing that I can relate to you is that I served in a war zone. I watched young men die. Young men who felt the words of duty, honor, and country and knew that there was something greater than them for which you take a stand. This is the reason these soldiers walk their post each day.
A soilder's death is not between and few, They die everyday. But it was in WW1 when a unknown american soilder died on the front lines....they layed him to rest in arlington. A few years ago When hurricanes threatened the tomb the guards were relived of duty and you know what they said? "No. This is the highest honor of all"
@joshuawglloyd how aboit you show some respect for the dead. gaurding the tomb of the unknown soldier is one of the highest honors in our country. The people in there disnt have anyone to mourn them when they died. If anyone doesnt deserve a life its you.
The persons dead, get a life, instead of guarding someone's tomb who has already lived. I feel sorry that these soldiers waste life patrolling a piece of stone.
@hisBustItBaby100 I have respect for myself but it's sad knowing they can be anything in this single life and they spend it walking up and down a tomb. If you can't see that it's stupid than you don't deserve a life.
@JoshuaWGLloyd At least they are standing for something. How many of us can say that we would dedicate ourselves to something honorable like that even though you are here right now saying how silly they are.. they still keep watch.. honoring the very freedom you have to sit here and say its silly.. that is why they keep watch
the old guard i respect up and beyond i have seen them in very dangerous conditions and have never seen one shrike his duty i have seen them ordered to stand down because of weather and refused to leave his post admirable
That's exactly what you shouldn't do in a thunderstorm, stand in an open space near big trees, with lots of water in the ground with a metal rod (gun) over your shoulder...I know the man is doing his job, but that is very dangerous!
My point was that standing guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is an honour that is taken very seriously... a task that is not abandoned because of inclement weather. I was belittling NiteOwl1224 because of the way he was insinuating that standing guard there in the rain was not a worthwhile task.
Well ya know what, since the soldier did something extremely dangerous for his country and we can't even identify who he is, he deserves a little bit of that same gratitude ;)
@Duncan7599 fuck you you stupid piece of shit how can you say say somthing like that If you don't like our military or country go live somewhere else then you will appreciate the land of the free and home of the brave you scumbag I can't wait till someone pisses on your worthless grave
@jfashner why not stand beside them and fight along side? War has been going on for as long as life has been on earth. It is not whether we stand in front of soldiers to give our lives because you claim we have nothing better to do then to complain about war and its potentially immoral terms. and it is much less about cowering behind humans who so bravely put their lives on the line. it is standing together shoulder to shoulder...
@zoeycat77 110% agree. These soldiers are definitely among the finest in our ranks. The things these guys have to sacrifice in their day to day lives just to be a part of this great honor is amazing.
As a veteran I appreciate the detail that these young men have chosen to be a part of for their country. When the tourists are gone, and the rain is falling, and its 4:00 in the morning.... they are standing guard. Honoring the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. While you sleep tonight they are there. Honoring this country and the men and women who serve to protect you. I love this country. God bless these soldiers this night.
@zoeycat77 You know what the funny thing is? The dead soldiers don't even know that you're doing this. Even if they did the decades of seeing this would eventualy make them board. Planet earth is filled with the craziest mother fuckers you will ever see.
@paradoxparody .... that is one seriously stupid remark!!!! spoken with true ignorance.... the only true thing you said was "Planet earth is filled with the craziest mother fuckers you will ever see." but you failed to mention stupid and ignorant which you have shown to be a perfect example
@chillstatus I don't think you can call me stupid and ignorant when you spend your time worshiping dead people. Humans have a tendency of turning things into something that they're not; dressing up tombs watching somebody do a funny little march doesn't mean anything. Its all just obsessive, ritualistic activity like doing the rain dance or throwing somebody in the volcano to keep it from getting angry and destroying your town. Research the reptilian brain and you'll know what I'm talking about.
@paradoxparody It's not obsessive or ritualistic like a rain dance. The tomb of the unknown soldier is exactly what its name implies. The reason for the sentinal is to show a sign of respect for all the fallen soldiers whose bodies were never recovered or never known. It's not worship, it's respect, there's a big difference.
@22fenderocker Yeah there is a difference between respect and worship, when you go to the extremes that you do I'm surprised that you don't set up an alter and offer up your first born child. I guarantee you if an Unknown Soldier rose up from the dead and saw how irrational you people are he would laugh himself back to death.
@paradoxparody Spoken like someone who has NEVER served ANY MILITARY.... What is "irrational" about a fellow Soldier standing guard as a form RESPECT & HONOR for a fallen Soldier? I can Guarantee YOU that if that Soldier rose from his grave he would be THANKFUL that even though his name is unknown he is still being REMEMBERED AND APPRECIATED for giving his life for what he believed and for his country! A sence of Code, Honor & Pride that YOU will NEVER understand...
@22fenderocker exactly, it is no different than the Eternal Flame in respectful memorial for President Kennedy. Remember every time that you look at our Flag that the Red represents the blood spilled by those countless individuals working toward a common cause: Liberty.
@paradoxparody sorry ... the Reptilian Brain Complex Theory does not apply in this particular case.... there is nothing or anyone being "worshiped" here... there is certainly no "funny little march" going on either. NO ONE is forcing you to go or even watch videos of the the Tomb of the Unknown, hell your not even being invited to watch or attend so why waste your time even commenting? oh wait u may comment all u want... it is a right provided by ppl like that unknown soldier
@zoeycat77 To add: The young men who are guarding the tomb are the same young men who guard their own, in hostile countries and terrible weather and while being shot at. They also will lay down their lives for their fellow soldier. There is no greater honor than what our military personnel do.
Rifles are not loaded, as seen during the changing of the guard, they inspect the rifle like a real inspection, and look to see no rifle is clambered. But some have said they carry a stripper clip of rounds. No side arm. And local park police are also on sight.
There is something definitely wrong with people who laugh, make fun of and disrespect our fallen soldiers. Where is the respect, honor and thoughts of the good that our soldiers did for us? Are we truly thankful for what they have done? Do we honor their memory or just push them aside? Would our soldiers disrespect us in this way? It's a sad day when our people turn their backs on those who gave their lives that we might be free.
I really don't think that anyone out there in the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" even knows why there is a guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. That guard at the Tomb represents each and every life that was lost in the defense of this country. As they, those dead who once stood between our nation and the madmen of the world who want to do us harm, now stands the silent guard keeping vigil over those who gave their all so that we may remain free. He is there for those still living.
@Mindraker1 If you live in the United States, which I am assuming you do, then this man, and his brothers in arms, pay for your "health insurance" everyday with their undying duty and willingness to die for pieces of shit like you.
I don't think it's worth risking someone's life to guard this Tomb. You might say that's disrespectful of the Tomb, but allowing someone to guard it during a lightening storm is disrespectful of their life.
@alashabibti It is his duty to protect The Tomb. He has no choice if its raining or not it makes no difference. The Tomb is a memorial to all the missing and dead soldiers of all our wars. Its not one persons tomb. That is sacred ground and he has a sacred duty. And its one of if not the most honorable jobs in the entire armed forces.
@alashabibti "lightening"? I think you need some EN-lightening. Tomb Guard duty is an honor and a privilege for which these men train extensively. They know from the outset that they will stand their post regardless of the weather.
@alashabibti Its a matter of honor and there were guards guarding the tomb in the middle of a hurricane before you have to be a tough bastard to do this.
I imagine that people that live in an area where there is rain, lightning and thunder for 8 out of 12 months would be completely used to it, especially when trying to maintain a disciplined demeanor.
No, but they have the sense to go inside. I have lived in the tropics for a while and it amazes me how people from outside think that locals are impervious to the regions regular weather. You won't believe how many people think that dark skinned people don't sunburn because they are "used to it". No, they just go inside or out of the sun during the peak UV Hours. Same with lightning. People still get killed by lightening, regardless of skin color or being used to the weather
Life expectancy for Indians was 25 in A.D. 1620. Tribesmen were ecstatic that whites could provide them w/muskets to slaughter their enemies: neighboring tribesmen. The good stewardship & egalitarianism of Indians is a creation of white revisionists. Indians practiced cannibalism, sacrifice, polygamy, sodomy, necromancy, incest & mutilation. The Puritans' mission was to bring order to the hellish existence of these unrepentant heathens as codified in the Mayflower Compact.
@VeteransAgainstKonop they are guarding the tombe in honer of all military soldiers who defend our nation they are also guarding the tombe for the unknown soldiers because THEY ARE UNKNOWN,,,they died for our country and they have not been Identified so in honer of the soldiers that died for our country that have not yet been Identified ,,we guard the tombe,,a salute the soldiers whos names are not known,,,PEACE
the unknown soldiers tombe i will never forget during my lifetime it was opened up under bill clinton the vietnam soldier was Identfied and he was taken home to be buried with his family,,his burial happend on my birthday,,,the unknown soldiers tombe will never be unsealed again,,,it is historical that in my life time I had witnessed the unknown soldiers tombe opened up,,it will never be opened again,,,im only 47 years old
@Dolphindream15 It will in fact be opened again, because I will exercise the powers of the executive office myself, and have it opened again, when I become president of the United States, and the New World Order.
Yes, it will be opened again. -- Thank you very much.
@777NVN you can suck a cock. hmm i sure remember something happening in 2001 but based off your spelling your probably to damn stupid to consider that and that if we aren't protecting your freedom it would of happened again. stupid puck, why don't you you just die cause every breath you take is one wasted that a proud american could be using.
@beutlerdavid2009 You are a retard troll shit eater, go suck you r dad's dick boy. The military never never have protect anyone freedom so get it right moron. You're so fucking stupid that you're about to live in a fascist country and you don't even know it. You know what? You and your dumb redneck stupid fuck deserved Homeland security, TSA, CIA, rouge cops on your ass. LOL at the troll.
You just proved the point. The reason we don't get invaded: Geography and a Military have would obliterate most possible enemies. Without a military, Honduras could attack us. So you think that a major power wouldn't The best deterrent is a powerful standing military READY to liquidate all comers. It has served us well.
ok guys, why is there a competition of who here was in the armed services and had a tough life, i haven't had that misfortune of a shitty life or serving in the military , but im sure some of you people make up stories of heroism and such, and to be completely honest, what soldier boasts about what he did in the time of his service
I kinda don't understand why is everyone hating the guy right now.. pardon my ignorance but.. what's the offense? I don't know much about US history or better yet it's monuments.. it's that an important monument or something?
@habbie7 This monument symbolizes all that have been lost fighting in the war that couldn't be identified. If you still don't care for this monument, then let me ask you this. How would you feel if you died and no one knew who you were, just as in the monument , but someone disrespects you and asks "Why is this person important?", or "What's the point of this person being here?', which is basically what you just asked. So the next time someone talks shit about a monument, it's there for a reason
@lolismaniac123 though i agree that people who disrespect what these soldiers died for are a-grade social refuse, i should like to point out that THOUSANDS of people die every day with that exact same position.... have you SEEN the number of unnamed graves in Normandy? Or how about of course thousands of people who contribute to the economy of Western countries on minimum wage, living their own insular lives until they die and are buried un-remarked in a state-paid grave...
@Voltaire152 What I'm saying is don't disrespect monuments. I'm not saying that the people that have died from the reasons you have said, so try not to talk shit when it's of another topic. The people that have died should be respected but none of the leaders of countries do anything to help out with memorials and monuments. They act is if they are too poor when they probably spend most of the money to enjoy themselves.
@lolismaniac123 that's not what I asked. I never actually said or implied that I didn't care about the monument. I later read about it and, yes, it's a very important message. so, before hanging me along with the previous hated guy.. analyze what I actually asked.
Benrfc... as a former tomb gaurd I would like to say thank you for your service. now shut your fucking mouth and stop fishing for thank you's from people. AND THINK before you decide that everyone needs to hear your opinion on the video quality... douchebag. And btw. i SERIOUSLY doubt you've seen more gaurd changes than i've had hot showers since i take one everyday
As it is the Guard I don't believe has an order to shoot on site but they will tackle you or hit you with their weapon if you cross the chains and rails, but only at that moment otherwise no they do not shoot. Lastly, all you people saying the Unknown Tomb or the Guard is stupid please stop it's very offensive to me and I'm sure to other people as well. Guarding the Tomb is an Honor, not a Privilege or a Right. It's very disrespectful to our lost fallen brothers in arms.
@logan7b no you cant go to hell unless your not a christian or whatevr not because you think a video is dumb. i mean reall do you know your facts. i find it funny how ppl say "your going to hell when you die" when all they did was say a video was dumb or whatever. And dont write back to me because all your doing is showing me you dont have a life
@benrfc A great American writer said that it is better to be thought of as a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. In your case, that should be amended to "before you type something foolish on the internet".

Apologists for the police, and the imminent police-state, you have no credibility. Their position will not provide for immunity. They shall be placed in concentration camps too.
@benrfc how dare you disrespect the United States of America and the people who ave protect YOU yes YOU and ALL OF US you should burn in hell and leave the United States of America and give up your citizenship because that is like saying 9/11 didn't happen and far worse than that you deserve to go to hell

@22fenderocker exactly, it is no different than the Eternal Flame in respectful memorial for President Kennedy. Remember every time that you look at our Flag that the Red represents the blood spilled by those countless individuals working toward a common cause: Liberty.

@paradoxparody sorry ... the Reptilian Brain Complex Theory does not apply in this particular case.... there is nothing or anyone being "worshiped" here... there is certainly no "funny little march" going on either. NO ONE is forcing you to go or even watch videos of the the Tomb of the Unknown, hell your not even being invited to watch or attend so why waste your time even commenting? oh wait u may comment all u want... it is a right provided by ppl like that unknown soldier

@zoeycat77 To add: The young men who are guarding the tomb are the same young men who guard their own, in hostile countries and terrible weather and while being shot at. They also will lay down their lives for their fellow soldier. There is no greater honor than what our military personnel do.

Rifles are not loaded, as seen during the changing of the guard, they inspect the rifle like a real inspection, and look to see no rifle is clambered. But some have said they carry a stripper clip of rounds. No side arm. And local park police are also on sight.

There is something definitely wrong with people who laugh, make fun of and disrespect our fallen soldiers. Where is the respect, honor and thoughts of the good that our soldiers did for us? Are we truly thankful for what they have done? Do we honor their memory or just push them aside? Would our soldiers disrespect us in this way? It's a sad day when our people turn their backs on those who gave their lives that we might be free.

I really don't think that anyone out there in the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" even knows why there is a guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. That guard at the Tomb represents each and every life that was lost in the defense of this country. As they, those dead who once stood between our nation and the madmen of the world who want to do us harm, now stands the silent guard keeping vigil over those who gave their all so that we may remain free. He is there for those still living.

No, but they have the sense to go inside. I have lived in the tropics for a while and it amazes me how people from outside think that locals are impervious to the regions regular weather. You won't believe how many people think that dark skinned people don't sunburn because they are "used to it". No, they just go inside or out of the sun during the peak UV Hours. Same with lightning. People still get killed by lightening, regardless of skin color or being used to the weather

Life expectancy for Indians was 25 in A.D. 1620. Tribesmen were ecstatic that whites could provide them w/muskets to slaughter their enemies: neighboring tribesmen. The good stewardship & egalitarianism of Indians is a creation of white revisionists. Indians practiced cannibalism, sacrifice, polygamy, sodomy, necromancy, incest & mutilation. The Puritans' mission was to bring order to the hellish existence of these unrepentant heathens as codified in the Mayflower Compact.

@habbie7 This monument symbolizes all that have been lost fighting in the war that couldn't be identified. If you still don't care for this monument, then let me ask you this. How would you feel if you died and no one knew who you were, just as in the monument , but someone disrespects you and asks "Why is this person important?", or "What's the point of this person being here?', which is basically what you just asked. So the next time someone talks shit about a monument, it's there for a reason

@lolismaniac123 though i agree that people who disrespect what these soldiers died for are a-grade social refuse, i should like to point out that THOUSANDS of people die every day with that exact same position.... have you SEEN the number of unnamed graves in Normandy?

@Voltaire152 What I'm saying is don't disrespect monuments. I'm not saying that the people that have died from the reasons you have said, so try not to talk shit when it's of another topic. The people that have died should be respected but none of the leaders of countries do anything to help out with memorials and monuments. They act is if they are too poor when they probably spend most of the money to enjoy themselves.

@lolismaniac123 that's not what I asked. I never actually said or implied that I didn't care about the monument. I later read about it and, yes, it's a very important message. so, before hanging me along with the previous hated guy.. analyze what I actually asked.

As it is the Guard I don't believe has an order to shoot on site but they will tackle you or hit you with their weapon if you cross the chains and rails, but only at that moment otherwise no they do not shoot. Lastly, all you people saying the Unknown Tomb or the Guard is stupid please stop it's very offensive to me and I'm sure to other people as well. Guarding the Tomb is an Honor, not a Privilege or a Right. It's very disrespectful to our lost fallen brothers in arms.
