The VA could owe you thousands!

While the Tomb of the Unknown soldier is guarded with M14s and bayonets, one tourist received the sharp end of the dreaded “knife-hand” after behaving in a manner deemed disrespectful by the Tomb Guard’s relief commander.

In a video that surfaced last year, the Staff Sergeant responsible for the changing of the guard carefully inspects the incoming Sentinel who is scheduled to relieve the female Sentinel standing post at the venerated Tomb.

As the NCO leads the incoming Sentinel to the Tomb, he notices an individual who appears to be sitting down, when the ceremony requires all show respect by standing during the duration.

I don't post here much anymore,but couldn't let this story go without a couple of comments.

The first and most important one is "I hope they court-martialed the SOB for being unprofessional! For all this guy knew,the spectator could have been a disabled vet with back,knee,and/or breathing problems,and needed to either sit down or fall down.

The minor question is "How does a female qualify for this job? Is she a infantry soldier that is 5'10" tall or taller? To ME,playing the PC game and putting a female in a honor guard position that is supposed to be reserved for infantry soldiers is disrespectful.
