Tomb of the Unknown Soldier disrespect not tolerated

November 20, 2012 By: Scott Paulson

Taking the expression “some people just don’t think!” to a new level, Lindsey Stone thought she was being funny when she posted a picture of herself giving the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery "the finger" - the middle finger - while appearing to shout at the national memorial in October. After posting the pic to Facebook, somehow thinking her friends would enjoy the photo, she most definitely found out otherwise. As of Monday, the backlash has been severe for Stone.

After the tremendously negative reaction to the photo, she Facebook-messaged on October 20:

I wish one of the honor guard had bitch slapped her with the butt of the M1-Garand they carry. I know they wanted to.

Freedom of Speech also carries with it the burden to use that freedom responsibly. Which is why is it illegal to yell ‘fire’ in a crowded building, etc.

People who abuse freedoms need to understand the consequences of their ‘exercise’ of their freedoms.

Freedoms, when abused, can be taken away.

Why are so many younger adults so childish?

It’s quite weird.

Two people very close to me at buried at Arlington Cemetery. Both WW II veterans of the ETO. My father, and the finest teacher and coach I ever had. See: Col. Kenneth Potter

This young woman's example of "humor" was inappropriate in the extreme. That she was comfortable with having it photographed, and widely displayed indicates a major lack of judgment. I'll be charitable for the moment, and assume alcohol was involved.

I visited Arlington Cemetery several months ago and walked up to the tomb of the unknown.

If this experience does not move you...you're walking dead and unAmerican.

I can say, if this were to have happened during my visit to the tomb, this lady would have been picking herself up off the ground.

That would be a vertical buttstroke, since she is crouching down to try to stay out of view of the Sentinals.

Her employer already seems to be doing the right thing. She is on unpaid leave which usually means your ass is fired but we have to make sure the lawyers clear it so you can’t sue us.

<"I wish one of the honor guard had bitch slapped her with the butt of the M1-Garand they carry. I know they wanted to."

"Today, sentinels carry the M14 rifle while wearing moistened gloves to protect the Tomb; the gloves allow better handling of the rifle. The M14 is operational. It is the latest in a long line of rifles used by the sentinels.

Today, the M14 is still used as a sniper rifle (M21) by many military units and is the standard ceremonial weapon of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Division (The Old Guard) and the weapon carried by the Tomb sentinels.

When it’s time for the guards to change, a relief commander says, “Pass on your orders.” The current sentinel commands, “Post and orders remain as directed.” The new sentinel then replies, “Orders acknowledged,” and this reverent ceremony begins again with the M14 rifle."

Works for a “non-profit” that could afford to send this piece of shit to DC. What the hell... non-profit parasites going to DC is like muslims going to Mecca.

Your dad has my gratitude and you have my deepest sympathies, twister. God bless your parents. The next time I go I’ll make it a point to let you know so that I can visit them.
My dad died in 1999 and was laid to rest in the Columbarium after an inurnment ceremony. I’m very proud of him. I hope that this little snot gets fired...she’s tarnished her employer’s good name. >:-(
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. ((hugs)).

How to un-do the 60’s crowd that rules today has to start with how “they” got that way. Jane Fonda clones are basically 52% of America today. The USA is everything it left Europe for, but with no place to go for revolt.

Churches died, and Education reflected that fact, so kiss off the next couple of generations even if we started repairs tomorrow, which I fear we won’t without secession.

Tag line below.

Freedom of speech applies to EVERYONE! Even jerks like this.

Most people, possessing common decency, restrain their own speech. A certain class, has no common decency and aren't worthy to be called citizens.

It is an assisted living facility for people with mental disabilities. They are just outside of DC and from the original photos it looks like they were taking the patients on tours of the free monuments. Don't knock the employer, they seem to be doing the right thing and are kicking her ass to the street for this.
