Very interesting, thanks for posting. Thought it was disrespectful to interrupt that video with an ad though.

Agreed. I don't think YouTube is big on respect or tradition though.

I’ve been fortunate enough to go to DC twice as a tourist. Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are high up on my recommendation list. Very inspiring.

I wondered, what would these solders' action be in case someone kept approaching the tomb they guarding?
In the communist country I served, the guard guarding our flag inside a room, trained to shoot if someone broke protocol.

I would think the chosen few take it seriously...dead seriously. I wouldn't doubt a rifle butt would be first, but no way in hell I'd want to find out.
