What happens when they pull this sh*t at the Tomb of the Unknowns?

I know it's the 'culture' to toy with the Queens guards, but it got me to thinking. What would happen if some A-Hole did this at Arlington?
Never happen here? Totally different attitude as far as respect to where your at? Curious what the military members of the board's thoughts are.

I would hope that person gets to know what the business end of an M14 tastes like.

Don't worry, soon there will be a petition about changing the name of Arlington to something else.

I used to be in The Old Guard at Ft Myer/Arlington. There is a protocol for disruptive behavior with stages. I honestly never it saw go past "stage 1" as I'll call it where the routine is stopped, the guard faces the offender and in a loud, authoritarian voice asks them to be "SILENT AND RESPECTFUL.....THANK YOU!!!!" The public shaming usually does the trick.

He touched the guard... Big big big time no-no.. Suprised he wasn't layed out.

When I was an instructor at Fort Knox we had a few cycles during PLDC that was 50% or greater Old Guard Soldiers.....those guys where Squared Thee F U C K Away.
During the field portion we could just say "Here is the objective" and that's it. We would sit back and watch them make shit happen.
Much Respect to those Joes!

I got to see the queens guard in person a few times. A little kid was pushing it a bit too far. They are not required to stand without moving and will randomly switch positions. Well the kid pushed it and pushed it, that guard switched positions with his sword and missed the kid by inches. They both knew what just happened and the kid ran off to get a new pair of shorts. You can do almost anything to those guys except touch them or act aggressively. At which point, all bets are off
