The self-styled “Secretary of War,” Pete Hegseth, disgraced himself again yesterday at the Veterans Day commemorative services at Arlington National Cemetery.

While inappropriately posing with his entourage for a photo op in front of the revered Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, they were chatting and laughing loudly, when the guard on duty — in accordance with his training — was forced to shout out this reprimand:

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

Well done, Soldier!

The fact that the man he was shouting at was the Secretary of Defense was irrelevant. Rules are rules, and respect is respect . . . no exceptions.

But the reminder apparently fell on deaf ears, as the group continued on their merry way without so much as an acknowledgment.

Clearly, respect has no place in the Trump administration.

Just sayin’ . . .
