Dont worry, that water bottle is currently being held in a detention center where it is being interrogated on its motives. It hasn't cracked yet, but they always do eventually.
@Michaela Actually, they HAVE pointed their rifle at people for not following orders. They usually just yell at you for approaching the tomb or making noise. However, if you continue to approach the tomb or continue to not follow their instructions they CAN point their rifle at you. I haven't heard of anyone getting shot yet, but they ARE serious with this.
@Michaela No, these aren't just regular soldiers. These are Tomb Guards, or Sentinels. Its medal is the 3rd rarest title in the entire US Military. Think of it like the Queen's Guard in the UK. They are very much allowed and encouraged to first yell at anyone breaking or bending the rules, and they are very much allowed to aim their (usually unloaded, barring times of high security measures) rifles at people who continue to disobey their direct orders. The Guards' first priority is to respect and uphold the dignity of the tomb. Being there is a privilege, and they will enforce that.
it's always interesting to remember that these are people too, with families and jokes, who eat food and mess around with friends, despite how robotic they seem
They are true to the definition of the word "sentinel". They're statuesque, unbroken, unswayed, respectful and precise with every single millimeter they move. Truly awe inspiring.

They under go something like 2 years of training their steps are measured because they have to get to point B in the exact amount of steps and the exact amount of time. If you've never been to it, let's just say it's the one time I saw a group of 80 8th graders be dead silent. You can hear a pen a drop and no matter whether you are obeying the rules or not your throat drops into your nads the entire time.
I'm disappointed that the guards didn't use their bayonets to teach the trespassing bottle a lesson it'd never forget. Emptying their sidearm into it would also have been an acceptable response.
The bayonet would've been interesting to see. However, using a weapon as a trash picker-upper doesn't seem like the most appropriate thing at this particular monument.
If he had the courtesy to pick up the bottle and go "hey y'all, which of ya young'uns lose some sippy sippy? " I would have stood up and applauded for being human again.
Love watching the changing of the guard, such a precise procedure..... These men take such pride in this service, you are a special person to receive this high honor.....
I like how they handled it. They didn't lose step, but there was some slight modification to their steps to avoid stepping on the bottle. The last guard did a great job kicking it out of his way.
I noticed that too, like they didnt do it different, but you could see the slight modifications they made to their step, it was fun to watch guards maneuver around a plastic bottle. Last guy definitely played football😂

There are two major differences in our military service members and the British Queens Guard's , our men have very Very short Tempers and will only speak once before they beat the individuals ass and second our guys have loaded weapons unlike the British Queens Guard's where they only use foot stomping and rifle pointing as a deterrent to people breaking into the Queen's property. If you notice our guys have a handgun on their right side which is loaded at all times the rifle on the other hand is never loaded and there is no telling if they have ammunition in the green shack since they don't disclose that information due to security reasons.
Both the queens guards and these are a joke just grown men playing soldier if i want to see acting i would just go to the theatre for a better show. They should put agents trained like secret service not these grown men acting like rotc kids
So many unanswerd questions, did the bottle enlist? Was it given a uniform to blend in? If it did enlist was its steps allowed to be altered to 63? People need to know... All jokes aside these guards are amazing. While serving I had a friend tapped to begin the process to train for this detail. Sadly, I never found out how it went; the war started shortly after his news.
What I love is that not only did one of the guards kick the water bottle, but the guard following alongside him elongated his foot the same as his friend who was kicking the bottle, so they both stayed perfectly in sync, even though only one was kicking the bottle. Now that's precision.
i’ll never forget my 8th grade class trip to d.c. Our group chaperone was a veteran, there was a kid acting up and running during the ceremony, after my chaperone found him and told him that he was lucky he didn’t get yelled at, and that if it was him guarding he would have shot the kid. The kid then ran off and shortly later we ran into him and he apologized to our chaperone. I will always remember how discrespetcfull the kid was and how my chaperone handeled the situation. love you mr.zinz

I'd like to imagine that after the SSG and the Guard returned to their office or whatever, as soon as the door shuts one of them just goes "That fucking water bottle"
Now this is way more of a spectacle to me than M&H..
Janitor of the unknown soldier: nows my time!
Janitor of the Unknown Soldier on the roof with a mop that extends into a .50 cal sniper blows it out of the way and the sentinels look up, salute, and go on about the ceremony
That kick was everything.
something that I'm pretty sure ⁹⁰% of people don't realize is that the guard of the tomb of the unknown soldier is the definition of perfection
That kick to the bottle got me
Water bottle : gives attitude
Soldier: Punts water bottle 3 miles
imagine somone try to mess with these guys like people do to the queen's guards. it ain't gonna play out the same.
I mean it probably would, the idiot would get trampled on and embarrassed
@@finarfin3042 they would be lucky to get trampled. these guys would shoot you just for crossing into the ceramony zone fence line. you cant get close to them at all xD
queens guard they be getting poked and people taking selfies with them and trying to make them laugh.
There are two major differences in our military service members and the British Queens Guard's , our men have very Very short Tempers and will only speak once before they beat the individuals ass and second our guys have loaded weapons unlike the British Queens Guard's where they only use foot stomping and rifle pointing as a deterrent to people breaking into the Queen's property.
If you notice our guys have a handgun on their right side which is loaded at all times the rifle on the other hand is never loaded and there is no telling if they have ammunition in the green shack since they don't disclose that information due to security reasons.
The queen's guards reserve the right to use force to remove someone from an area - its just most don't.
Both the queens guards and these are a joke just grown men playing soldier if i want to see acting i would just go to the theatre for a better show. They should put agents trained like secret service not these grown men acting like rotc kids
I'm say as a vet myself this DNC is definitely one the best i ever seen
Who else feels like the ghost of the unknown soldier fucks with the guards sometimes? The best joke to a soldier is a joke on another soldier......
That water bottle is disrespectful, even when he told everyone to stand the bottle remained down instead of standing up straight.
So many unanswerd questions, did the bottle enlist? Was it given a uniform to blend in? If it did enlist was its steps allowed to be altered to 63? People need to know... All jokes aside these guards are amazing. While serving I had a friend tapped to begin the process to train for this detail. Sadly, I never found out how it went; the war started shortly after his news.
Which war?
@@Joseph-tn3wn ww1 xd
@@Joseph-tn3wn ww2 most likely
@@hex1 I think its like, vietnam or modern war or something
Real question is if the bottles are also allowed crayon MREs
My condolences. Thank you for your service.
I love how you can see the wear on the concrete from were they walk and no wear else is like that
Rumor has it that the water bottle is still there to this day
Nah, I’m sure the guy snuck behind the guard and retrieved it.
@@john20326 Which guy?
“It is requested that all water bottles remain behind the chain at all times...thank you”
I love that they’ve marked the ground from walking the same paths over and over
Not gonna lie. When i saw the title, the first thing i imagined was the guard firing at the bottle cause it got to close to the tomb
What I love is that not only did one of the guards kick the water bottle, but the guard following alongside him elongated his foot the same as his friend who was kicking the bottle, so they both stayed perfectly in sync, even though only one was kicking the bottle. Now that's precision.
i’ll never forget my 8th grade class trip to d.c. Our group chaperone was a veteran, there was a kid acting up and running during the ceremony, after my chaperone found him and told him that he was lucky he didn’t get yelled at, and that if it was him guarding he would have shot the kid. The kid then ran off and shortly later we ran into him and he apologized to our chaperone. I will always remember how discrespetcfull the kid was and how my chaperone handeled the situation. love you mr.zinz
Some time later Staff Sergeant Dickmeyer would go on to do a tour in Afghanistan which he would not come back alive from. He would be buried in the same cemetery he served for years. It would be one of the hardest days for all employees who worked closely with him
The wear lines on the ground become kinda haunting when you realize they had to go through this unknown soldier ceremony that many times
Major respect for the soldiers for ignoring that stupidity, focused on keeping the solemnity of the situation, deal with the bottle later.
One intense water bottle... no action of movie has ever had me that tense before...
They walk that path so much the ground changed colors over time. Epic af.
It’s been guarded 24/7 without a single lapse since 1948
