    So for those who don't know the concept of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, it is not just a US thing. It is dedicated to the services of not just an unknown soldier but to all soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for war, and several countries have these for different wars like Argentina for their war for independence or Russia for the Soviet soldiers killed during WWII. In the case of the US, it's for WWI, WWII, Korean War, and previously Vietnam War (the Vietnam remains were identified). Each time an unknown is sent to Arlington, the president presides over their funerals, awarding them the Medal of Honor Why is it guarded? Because these missing or unknown soldiers not only gave their lives, but also their identities to protect these freedoms.

    It's the same everywhere, at El Alamein (the two flags) in Egypt, 300 km West of Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast, there is a cemetery dedicated to the fallen of WW2 with their tombs and also dedicated to the unknown soldier. There is chapel, a small mosque and a temple, the place is also guarded like most cemeteries are. It's in the middle of the desert and quite inspiring. BTW, it is France around 1801, under Napoleon that started honoring the unknown fallen. The first tomb of the unknown soldier is in Paris. It was followed in England in 1920 after WW1 by a British chaplain who served in France.

    For the people wondering about the rifle: No, the M14 rifles used by the Old Guard (3rd Infantry Regiment) are NOT loaded with live rounds. Before inspection, each rifle is meticulously dis-assembled, cleaned, and properly re-assembled and polished to remove any rust, debris or markings on the rifle It’s fascinating to observe the pure level of formality in an event like this. Sure, the more efficient thing to do would be to just hand over the rifle. But the fact that these actions are so ingrained in them, that they maintain them without fail every time is true dedication.

    In Canadian firearms safety school, inspecting the bore is the final process. There's a misconception that you never look down the bore, but like you said, once a gun has been meticulously inspected so that there is absolutely zero chance of a live round being in the gun, you can safely inspect the bore. This is done to check for obstructions that may be too far down the barrel to view from the breach. The acronym we have is PROVE P- Point the firearm in the safest direction available R- Remove all ammunition O - Observe the chamber V - Verify feeding path E - Examine the bore It's also highlighted for us that even if somebody else follows those steps, you must also always do it for yourself. You need to PROVE that it's safe.

    Each and every single tiny movement is perfect. Perfectly rehearsed over and over and over. Every single movement of head, hands, weapon, feet, everything. The honor to become a Sentinel is so highly revered, so highly solemn. The men and women who take on this roll do so to honor those unknown soldiers who fell in battle. They do it with the utmost respect for anyone who lays there. No matter which side, no matter which battle or which war. They do it to honor them. They do it with such dedication and respect. They truly care about those fallen soldiers. It's an honor that they have to earn. And they do it with such respect and dignity. Thank you SSG Hanks for your two years serving in this incredible role. And all your time serving your country and fellow human.

    When my folks and I went, some dude thought it’d be a good idea to throw his shirt down inside the area. He got rebuked. Meanwhile, a group of elderly veterans had arrived for the changing of the guard and one of them asked his nurse to help his stand from his wheelchair so he could show respect. There’s just something about a place like Arlington’s Tomb of the Unknown and the sentinels who guard it that demands respect- and not just respect for the dead.

    I went to Arlington National Cemetery in the 8th grade. Before we got to the tomb our guide explained what is considered acceptable and not and I just remember feeling so anxious (not quite the word im thinking of) that I would screw up. My family has been involved in one branch or another since the boat docked, and I didn't want to be deemed disrespectful. We also bumped into a funeral, the guide saluted and ordered us to take 21 steps back. It sounds weird (since its a cemetery) but that was probably one of my favorite parts of that week. So much history, the guide didn't mind the billions of questions, and overall it seemed very peaceful and pretty.

    rach d yes the Tomb of the Unkown is for soldiers who can’t be identified. Many times dog tags are lost or destroyed. Then the body may also be partially destroyed, making it impossible to identify from uniform alone. I’m not sure about the American version, but I think (based on the Filipino one, which is based on this one) that there are even foreign soldiers buried here. Anybody that fought alongside the Americans but ended up in their hands when the war ended. French, British, etc.

That extension, goes as well to the men and women who dedicate those years of their life to watching over it night and day. It's an assignment that few are accepted for, even though many volunteer. Guarding the fallen that never came home. They have a special level of respect for what the tomb stands for and the fallen its vigil to, but that final walk means they will never keep watch again. So to many its not just ending an assignment, it's saying goodbye to those fallen in a way no one else can.

    Mizako 96 I’m guessing the comment or is in his teens, or older, so their grandmother may have been born in the 1920s - 1930s. Back then, women didn’t have as many rights as they do now. Back then, women were still just solely housewives, and during World War II, women were able to work in factories, and after World War II ended, get jobs. I agree with Lord Farquaad, since when this persons story took place, I’m guessing it was the 1950s - 1970s. America only stepped foot In a few civil wars, and the Korean and Vietnamese wars. There weren’t that many women fighting in those wars, if at all.

I've talked to many foreign soldiers and civilians. Not to mention you can even look at various videos here on KZread and get a good idea of other country's opinions of the US military now. Hate to tell you, but they know it's a joke, because it is. I bet within the last 20 years in the Pentagon there has been more talk about how the military can be "more inclusive" rather than how it can be "more prepared for a real war". The world is laughing at us because we can't even handle a bunch of sandal-wearing cave hajis in Afghanistan and our military is more worried about restructuring training and standards just so we can accomodate females entering combat MOS's.

They should have let the Nazis conquer Europe then because then things would have been so much better. You saying they fought for the elites is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life. I don't know if you've ever met a soldier or heard a veteran speak, but I guess you haven't. The soldiers are people like me and you, they could be anyone really. It seems to me that you live in a bubble of some serious brainwash. You should show respect to people who left everything when they were young - their families, their friends and their homes and put their own lives on the line for the Americans, and to maintain the same freedom of information you're referring to. Also I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say that "they know". They know what? What is it exactly that you think is bad that they're fighting for?

    Yeah the tomb has no commissioned officers. Its sentries are enlisted warriors. They are armed and will use lethal force if necessary and well Dont get caught defacing the tomb. You will be JUSTIFIABLY arrested or shot. You get 1 warning with an advance or 3 warnings of continued infraction and that m14 will be trained on you with one final warning. These weapons are NOT ceremonial. They are functional and the sentry is authorized to use lethal force at discretion.

    RWR201920 I find it hard too believe a guard of this position, all things considered doesn’t carry a loaded weapon.

    that's not just wear, it's embedded Kiwi shoe polish. The standard in order to post guard is highly shined shoes. That means every part of the shoe, including the sole. The marks you see on the pavement are embedded wax. The marks you see on the rubber are areas that are saturated with shoe polish, and then highly shined because the facing movement is made in the exact same spot every time. Over the years the friction spit shined the rubber to a high gloss in those two spots.

    I love how every step lines up to a spot on the concrete, no deviation. That's precision. Nothing but the best at Arlington.
