Excellent PBS documentary (Hard to believe...) on Arlington National Cemetery, and what it takes to be an Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

It was on last night, and I suspect will be on again tonight, following the Memorial Day Concert in Washington D.C. (Performed last night.)

Worth seeing.

They cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way.

Well now we know two reasons why Marines don't guard the Tomb of the Unknown.
