What do you know about the memory of fallen heroes and military traditions? Here is the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
Participants in American wars, presidents, chief justices of the Supreme Court, astronauts and members of military families are buried on the cemetery grounds.
In total, almost 430 thousand people are buried here, and Arlington National Cemetery itself is considered one of the most important war memorials in the United States.
Here the same incident occurred on November 11 when one of the sentinels, Specialist Thomas Iglesias, rebuked Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and his entourage for laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The next day, Hesset personally awarded that sentry the joint service award for exemplary performance of duties, and accompanied the award with the words: "We love soldiers. We like standards. Well done, expert."
This is the essence of the difference between cultures.
In Russia or some other rubbish tyranny, such a soldier who made a remark to a whole minister, like a whole war, could be sent to charge the next Malaya Tokamchaka.
And in the US, even a minister as odious as Gesset not only publicly acknowledged the sentry's correctness, but also gave him a personal award.
That's why I always pay attention not to politicians, personalities or specific figures, but rather to the institutions, the military traditions and the culture of the country.
Politicians come and go, but institutions and traditions remain, which is very important.
So, yes, the coalition of Epstein and Hector led by Peter Thiel are better than ranks of Chinese Communists with Muscovites and Ayatollahs as their backup dancers.
