What everyone needs to know that this memorial intends to represent every soldier that got blown up so bad in a war that they couldn't identify his remains. Not only did they die for their country, but in such a way they were unrecognizable, or in such a location that they could never be recovered. Some of these places where they lay are still hostile to Americans today. They are established because these bodies are representative of all of those who died, and could never be identified for their families.

@@anthonylagunas6737 You are either stupid or have never heard the sound of a round being chambered in a rifle. The bayonet on that rifle is real. The magazine has live ammo. They are kept unchambered. Unless they've been briefed to be wary of possible threat they issue 3 verbal warnings. If you approach after the first warning or fail to remove yourself after the third, the gun is brought to bear and a round is audibly chambered to serve as a visual and audible warning. There are also numerous armed MPs around the Tomb of the Unknowm soldier. Unless the Sentinel deems you a threat to themselves, others, or the Tomb itself you will not be shot but the MPs will remove you from the premises.
They only do the routine out of respect for the dead soldiers. If someone actually came across that line with malicious intent, they'd get lit up. Long story short, respect the dead and don't get shot
No if they were guards, they would have detained these people at gun point, tackled them or shot them on site....Because in actual secured sites, if you are caught tresspassing you don't get the luxury of leaving on your free will...You would be escorted in some way, shape or form, whether it be in cuffs, or in a body bag. Then there is also the fact that if they were actually pulling security they wouldn't be pulling security in tailored service dress uniforms, because those are incredibly expensive and rip and tear at the slightest bit of exertion...The coat alone is over $200 that is just the coat, with out being tailored, or anything sewn on to it, and this is also not including their awards aka ribbon rack(s)
Well, the soldiers were all polite enough to say please, so I think it would probably work on a British army, or they would at least form a queue behind the the railings and wait for the ceremony to finish, hah.
The invading soldiers politely pause in their charge, and attach "silencers" to their machine guns, so as not to make noise whilst fatally killing Americans...
She had no respect for a unknown service member who gave their life just so she could walk across a tomb meant for remembrance of those who have made the greatest sacrifices

I've a friend that served in the Sentinels some years ago, had some interesting stories. He once got away with doing what some of what the guards in this video did to a fucking _brigadier_ _general_ , and it was the general that got shit canned afterward You do _not_ mess with the Sentinels.
My brothers Stepdad served in the Sentinels. Apparently an out of uniform group of CW4s and 4star Generals were attending and decided to get mad disrespectful with the guard cause they were all hammered. Just saying they got QMP'd faster than you can say Article 15
I took my young daughter to this quite a few years ago, she was probably about 9. As we passed JFK's grave and continued our walk toward this, I gave her a brief 'lecture.' It was basically, "where we're about to go, don't talk. Don't laugh. Don't whisper. If you have to sneeze, do it quietly. If you have to fart, hold it in. Do not sit down. Do not giggle." I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to follow basic rules. Like the woman in the white outfit early on ... where did she think she was going? PS My daughter thought it was the coolest thing ever, and stood there in awe and silence for 20 minutes. We discussed afterward what it meant, and why it was so important.
"IT IS REQUESTED THAT ALL LIFE FORMS REMAIN BEHIND THE CHAINS AND RAILS" *rabbit doesnt move* Guard: Chambers a round and blows the brains out of the rabbit from 100 feet away and continues to do the walk like nothing happened

That's what is known as "command voice". The chambering of a round just reinforces the fact the soldiers from The Old Guard mean business. The Tomb of the Unknown is sacred ground, as is all of Arlington National Cemetery.

Well, you could say that the unnamed soldiers of all countries fought so that people could one day not think about death and pain and be elated during ceremonies like this. But I understand why it seems and often is disrespectful, especially with how much effort is put in by the guards themselves to keep up that air or respect.
Then they'd have to be yelling at people for crying out in pain every time some idiot grabs the electric fence. That fixes one problem only to create another sadly. Although, if you pass ENOUGH current through them, they won't have time to cry out, so the idea has potential.
@@cjeam9199 I wouldn't say they're "smart enough", I'd just say more compliant, which can be good depending who's telling them what to do, in this case the Sentinel.
I went when I was in my wheelchair and I just made sure to 'park' myself near the chain and in plain view so they'd know why I wasn't standing. I was stressed out like you wouldn't believe, but they never bothered me.
They get visited by vets in wheelchairs, I think they understand why people can't stand. That said wouldn't surprise me if some people tried to stand to show respect
@@goldosprey It's happened. There are vets who will stand for this because of the respect they want to relay to their fellow servicemembers, living and dead. I myself have back issues and standing for long periods can hurt, but I'd stand at attention for the duration of this ceremony because these unknown soldiers deserve the utmost respect. My service pales in comparison to theirs.

I remember going here for a school trip and watching this, and my school is usually pretty bad, but no one did anything bad or talked during this ceremony. I think because we all knew the guards wouldn’t f around and they would get on you really quick
The rifle isn’t actually loaded for safety reasons when they do the spinning trick during the changing of the guards. However, that bayonets is 100% real, and the guards is still a trained soldier who will fuck you up for breaking the rules.
@@sylaconnocalys8443 I don’t doubt it but still I don’t want to find out the hard way if it is loaded or not the truth of the matter is nobody knows if it’s loaded or not
This happen to me when I was probably 10 yrs old I fell or something I forget it was back in the 90s all I remember is that the soldier pointed his rifle and hollered at me it put the fear of God in me as a 10yr old boy
I've always wondered why they yell. Doesn't that make it even harder for foreigners to understand? I'm a native speaker and when the woman is speaking up (0:42) it's crystal clear, but whenever the guard is yelling I haven't a clue what he said.
It’s interesting how they act with different people. The young tourists got straight up yelled at. Yet, with older people and kids it seemed much more polite, even with a “thank-you”.
People go and see the tomb and witness the guards but don’t really realize that it’s not a tourist thing, those men signed up to guard The Tomb 24/7/365/? Sun, rain, heat, cold, snow, thunderstorms, lightning, sleet, hail, straight line winds, tornados, nor’easters, heat waves, and throw in a hurricane or two. This is not an easy post to get. You have to want it bad, and then you might not be right for it, or it might not be right for you. You have to be one straight shooter of a soldier to earn this post. Then you have to strive to be perfect, or as close to it as possible, in order to keep it. Hats off to the guards at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. And a hat over heart for the men buried there. Peace.
Draven Flores-Rios and don’t put anything on the plaza. At around 5:25 someone put their bottle on the plaza and the guards told them to remove it so it’s not on the plaza.
I remember when we visited the tomb, they request at the beginning of the changing of guards that everyone remain standing… my niece, who was probably 5-6 at the time, sat… and she got yelled at. Scared the shit out of her. One of my favorite stories to tell and that I remember.
As someone with a hearing processing disorder, and as someone who is pretty much all around useless, this video terrified me because i could NOT understand wtf they were yelling. Im just imagining my dumb ass wandering out there and getting shot
The thing is, they have an understanding that kids will make some noise. There's an expectation to shush a young child, but a baby crying or a toddler too young to understand respect isn't expected to be silent. If it becomes distracting, the parent should step away and that's that. The problem isn't the children so much as the childish adults who can't follow simple logical instructions like, "When we arrive at the tomb, you're not permitted to pass the chains and rails."
I have only been there once. My siblings and I were all young children (9, 6, 4, and 3). We were always very well behaved due to our parents' excellent teaching and discipline. We had absolutely no problem sitting still and remaining silent and respectful. So, in agreement with the three replies above mine, parents are the ones to blame, not the kids.
Like most others in this thread, I also visited the ceremony when I was younger. I thought it was boring at the time, but it’s something I’ll never forget.
After watching and commenting I flew to DC and road the subway to Arlington Cemetery just to watch the changing of the guard! It was during a bad heat wave. Very brutal just watching. These men are awesome for doing what they do. Anyone that criticize these men don’t have the balls, courage, or heart to even deserve to live in this great Country!!!
Imagine being so self absorbed that you can't respect the dignity of the fallen. A monument to the fallen of the CSA, of Maoist China or even Nazi Germany (if presented in good faith) requires a degree of sobriety.
There needs to be signs all over with this simple message: "There are only two rules here for visitors. 1. Stay behind the damn barrier. 2. Shut the hell up until you are out of earshot of the monument. Failure to follow either of these rules will result in a very harsh warning at best, and a brutal ass-kicking at worst, depending on how patient the guard is feeling."
COBRA DARKNISS nope, loaded but not charged. They used to be show rifles, but trespassers and people assaulting the guards got them equipped with live rifles and ammo. That loud “chk-chk” is not for show.
Seriously don't understand why it is such a hard concept for people who visit Arlington to comply with rules. They give you a pamphlet with the rules and the people who are there to guide tourists are very clear. Major entitlement acting like the rules don't apply to them.
You started off by saying you don't understand why people can't grasp, then your last sentence demonstrates you know exactly why they can't, major entitlement is the answer my friend.

That's cool. I've always wanted to be one of the guards that walks the path at the Memorial. It's a shame that I can't, because in order to do so, you have to have I think 3 years of combat experience. There are some other things in regards to taking up a career there, but as far as I know, I can't join any branch of the Armed Services.

You are either stupid or have never heard the sound of a round being chambered in a rifle.
The bayonet on that rifle is real. The magazine has live ammo. They are kept unchambered. Unless they've been briefed to be wary of possible threat they issue 3 verbal warnings. If you approach after the first warning or fail to remove yourself after the third, the gun is brought to bear and a round is audibly chambered to serve as a visual and audible warning.
There are also numerous armed MPs around the Tomb of the Unknowm soldier. Unless the Sentinel deems you a threat to themselves, others, or the Tomb itself you will not be shot but the MPs will remove you from the premises.
This video shows that they are guards, not performers.
Well said.
True
They only do the routine out of respect for the dead soldiers. If someone actually came across that line with malicious intent, they'd get lit up. Long story short, respect the dead and don't get shot
No if they were guards, they would have detained these people at gun point, tackled them or shot them on site....Because in actual secured sites, if you are caught tresspassing you don't get the luxury of leaving on your free will...You would be escorted in some way, shape or form, whether it be in cuffs, or in a body bag.
Then there is also the fact that if they were actually pulling security they wouldn't be pulling security in tailored service dress uniforms, because those are incredibly expensive and rip and tear at the slightest bit of exertion...The coat alone is over $200 that is just the coat, with out being tailored, or anything sewn on to it, and this is also not including their awards aka ribbon rack(s)

I mean it’s an m14 with out a magazine so it’s probably not loaded but the sound is enough to make people shit their pants
This happen to me when I was probably 10 yrs old I fell or something I forget it was back in the 90s all I remember is that the soldier pointed his rifle and hollered at me it put the fear of God in me as a 10yr old boy
Tim did the soldier point the rifle to you?
Edit: spelling
Chjöp Chjöp i also want to know
Most certainly wasn’t an honor guard that pointed his rifle at a 10 year old.
@@ejguitar5452 Keep in mind the military has run inside with kids used as...well just look it up. Terrorists don't care about age.
Yeah, just as yankee soldiers never care about age when they're abroad...
7:04 I love how his voice goes from quite peaceful to the most aggresive thing ever within one second
It is requested that everyone maintain an atmosphere OF SILENCE AND RESPECT AT ALL TIMES
I've always wondered why they yell. Doesn't that make it even harder for foreigners to understand? I'm a native speaker and when the woman is speaking up (0:42) it's crystal clear, but whenever the guard is yelling I haven't a clue what he said.
@@georgebrantley776 *angry sentinel noises*
He's creating emphasis.
He was still selecting his character voice.
Random civilian: crosses chains and rails
Guard: ah shit here we go again
And again, and again, and again
The hell is a gaurd
How come the rabbit at 0:50 didn’t get yelled at?
When I am in an elevator with other people: *"IT IS REQUESTED THAT EVERY PASSENGER SHUT UP AND BE QUIET!!!"*
It’s interesting how they act with different people. The young tourists got straight up yelled at. Yet, with older people and kids it seemed much more polite, even with a “thank-you”.
Well, kids know no better, and elder people deserve some patience. The rest have no excuse.
i feel like they only say "thank you" if you obey quickly
Idgaf if they’re polite or not, you respect and follow the rules for those who have fallen to save you.
@@brendonkeen1974 *they're
As it should be...simple Stupidity comes with a price...
People go and see the tomb and witness the guards but don’t really realize that it’s not a tourist thing, those men signed up to guard The Tomb 24/7/365/? Sun, rain, heat, cold, snow, thunderstorms, lightning, sleet, hail, straight line winds, tornados, nor’easters, heat waves, and throw in a hurricane or two. This is not an easy post to get. You have to want it bad, and then you might not be right for it, or it might not be right for you. You have to be one straight shooter of a soldier to earn this post. Then you have to strive to be perfect, or as close to it as possible, in order to keep it. Hats off to the guards at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. And a hat over heart for the men buried there. Peace.
This a underrated comment... I salute you and all the soldiers in the kingdome of heaven
@@m2cscream that's what there are supposed to do
Is it true that they have 24 hour shift?
@@happyguy2k yes
@@m2cscream that’s actually a myth just watched the video that talked about this
In summary:
Don’t trespass, stay silent, and remain standing during the ceremony.
Draven Flores-Rios and don’t put anything on the plaza. At around 5:25 someone put their bottle on the plaza and the guards told them to remove it so it’s not on the plaza.
It kinda like the guards vision is based on movement
@@redacted9912 they are t-rexs lol
Wrong It's a tomb, you should respect the ones that aren't here anymore, specially those that don't have a name nor bodies to be recognized by
@@wrong9279 what do you mean it's just a tomb?
This almost seems like When foreigners go up to British guards at the palace and try to get them to react.
Bluntly Blondie Pretty much yeah
Its actually a lot worse
Bluntly Blondie its a lot worse. The failure rate to be a sentinel is 90%. These guys are the elite of the elite.
Yup same thing really
Sometimes they get. And wish they didn't
I remember when we visited the tomb, they request at the beginning of the changing of guards that everyone remain standing… my niece, who was probably 5-6 at the time, sat… and she got yelled at. Scared the shit out of her. One of my favorite stories to tell and that I remember.
i feel secondhand embarrassment from this :/
In the words of the Late Terence Mckenna, That feeling is referd to as "Fardow"
Ughh sameee
As someone with a hearing processing disorder, and as someone who is pretty much all around useless, this video terrified me because i could NOT understand wtf they were yelling. Im just imagining my dumb ass wandering out there and getting shot
@@chickenWARpX The moment I hear their voice I'd scram faster than a dog running to a fence to bark at a random person
Ya when they fucking laughed come on nowwwww smh
Moral of the story don’t bring young children here
I’ve actually been there it’s a very peaceful place luckily there was no idiots there
The thing is, they have an understanding that kids will make some noise. There's an expectation to shush a young child, but a baby crying or a toddler too young to understand respect isn't expected to be silent. If it becomes distracting, the parent should step away and that's that. The problem isn't the children so much as the childish adults who can't follow simple logical instructions like, "When we arrive at the tomb, you're not permitted to pass the chains and rails."
I only saw adults breaking the rules except for like two clips
When I was like 10 I went there for the first time. And I was a little rowdy but I never ever was loud or went I front of the chains and rails
I have only been there once. My siblings and I were all young children (9, 6, 4, and 3). We were always very well behaved due to our parents' excellent teaching and discipline. We had absolutely no problem sitting still and remaining silent and respectful. So, in agreement with the three replies above mine, parents are the ones to blame, not the kids.
Like most others in this thread, I also visited the ceremony when I was younger. I thought it was boring at the time, but it’s something I’ll never forget.
*Watches lady about to do something stupid*
"OOH SHE GONNA GET REQUESTED BRO!"
And trust me, you do *not* want to get requested
Request that bitch, hard.
Holy shit that guy deleted his comment WHILE I was typing my response

Devs: *REMAIN BEHIND THE CHAINS AND RAILS!*
It’s a damn shame they have to tell you this stuff
After watching and commenting I flew to DC and road the subway to Arlington Cemetery just to watch the changing of the guard! It was during a bad heat wave. Very brutal just watching. These men are awesome for doing what they do. Anyone that criticize these men don’t have the balls, courage, or heart to even deserve to live in this great Country!!!
OG WEASEL I’m quiet most of the time and I don’t fuck with guards so they don’t have to worry about me
Imagine being so self absorbed that you can't respect the dignity of the fallen. A monument to the fallen of the CSA, of Maoist China or even Nazi Germany (if presented in good faith) requires a degree of sobriety.
Zeke Bartlett Exactly! You’re so right!
Naw they’re probably just not paying attention
There needs to be signs all over with this simple message:
"There are only two rules here for visitors.
1. Stay behind the damn barrier.
2. Shut the hell up until you are out of earshot of the monument.
Failure to follow either of these rules will result in a very harsh warning at best, and a brutal ass-kicking at worst, depending on how patient the guard is feeling."
There are many signs in the Cemetery to be quiet and respectful. Everyone with a brain should understand that chains and rails are there for a reason.
I think at worst they’d get a bullet to the brain unless those rifles are just for show. (Ps: I hope they’re real)
None Of your business they are functional but I don’t think they keep them loaded. Only have a magazine maybe in times of stress.
COBRA DARKNISS nope, loaded but not charged. They used to be show rifles, but trespassers and people assaulting the guards got them equipped with live rifles and ammo. That loud “chk-chk” is not for show.
@@sillylittleowlguy2392 Tomb Guards have never been assaulted.
They have the most badass title:
"Tomb Sentinels"... Sounds like an enemy from Jedi: Fallen Order.
The uniform is badass too
Sounds like some Doom Eternal lore.
They walk like npc's too
Sounds like something off of Borderlands
Life is just like bideo gayme!!

Thats a rabbit XD
Seriously don't understand why it is such a hard concept for people who visit Arlington to comply with rules. They give you a pamphlet with the rules and the people who are there to guide tourists are very clear. Major entitlement acting like the rules don't apply to them.
You started off by saying you don't understand why people can't grasp, then your last sentence demonstrates you know exactly why they can't, major entitlement is the answer my friend.
@@sleepy1697 looks like you never grasped the understanding of hyperbolic speech.. talking like a smartass actually made you sound dumb
This is perfectly fine sentences.
I seriously cant understand why "dont kill unarmed civilians" is so hard for you to understand. Its very clear.
