I bet those three need to wipe...

@Limejello10512 I understand that now, but while the rifle might not be loaded that bayonet is, and if need be they will stop you. Yes cops are there, but if you try to pick a fight with him, my money is on the guard

True honor for the unknown soldier.

@joefire6 I see. Well good for them!

[joefire6]

@farmerdwight Well you see, these soldiers take 30 minute walks in the summer and about hour walks in winter and spring. They have barracks underneath the building in front of the tombs where they live. They either use the bathroom before their watch time or they hold. These guards are highly disciplined. They are constantly guarding the tombs 24/7, rain or shine, and leaving their post without being properly relieved is disrespectful and against their code.

[farmerdwight]

@joefire6 Um, I'm pretty sure that's a porta potty. Where else will the guard go to take a dump?

[joefire6]

@farmerdwight Thats not a porta potty, it's a booth for special ceremonies or emergencies.

They need to rope off the surrounding area by chains and then cover them so people don't approach the area by mistake.. Also tell visitors the rules about noise, laying wreaths, and keeping the certain distance and what happens if a visitor's presonal item goes beyond the certain distance haave a procedure in place. This was way respect is honored more and people come away from the experience more enriched. It would also give the guards a break. Is this done? Never been there.

@iamauen no they do not have any ammo

[farmerdwight]

Haha! There's a green porta potty next to the graves! Guess the guards have to take a shit now and then!

[PRSwannaB]

Ooops

[iamauen]

The rifle is not loaded, however, they have a magazine on their person.

[qqqq7100]

Why are there stairs there, if there is to be no approach?

[CriminalMindsFan55]

@drummaboy2346 no its the tomb of theUNKNOWN soldiers that is they do not know who they belonged to therefore they do not know the rank

[mexiacn100boy]

@drummaboy2346 oh okay thanks!

[drummaboy2346]

@mexiacn100boy I'm pretty sure it's the tomb that represents high ranking soldiers who didn't come back in body bags, but parts...

@bandboy11111 We have no rights to say anything.. The USA isn't a free country any more then North Korea is.

Just because they are not rounding people up at their homes, doesn't make our speech free. The Government is quick to bash in heads when people exercise their first amendment rights, and even more so then in countries like Iran.

Americans are free to do as they are told.

[mexiacn100boy]

Whats the tomb represent?



[DeathCharge2007]

I no that they have respect but really how can they really no when the changing of the guard now if they had a sign right there then yea

[xxf76xf]

@ospTube

RESPECT the fallen.

[FirearmFreedom]

@ospTube Have a little fucking respect.

[nsvasquez]

@ospTube the difference is this is for the guys who died.

[ospTube]

Wow talk about an empty gesture. Some pimply dude standing on a block of granite while they allow banks to forclose on vets. Wake up Jar heads.

[Limejello10512]

@bandboy11111 I meant The rifle is for show... first off no one who no antyhing about weapon saftey would do that with a loaded fire arm (even with the saftey on). I know they'll aprehend you and turn you over to the police if you get really out of line.

[MinoritiesRlazy]

i saw this in real life
