Hegseth awards medal to soldier who reprimanded him and aides at Arlington Cemetery
Haley Britzky, CNN
Thu, November 12, 2026 at 9:15 AM PST 2 min read
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth awarded the soldier who reprimanded him and members of his staff at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier a Joint Service Commendation Medal on Thursday.
"We love soldiers. We love standards. Well done, Specialist," Hegseth said in a post on social media. "Carry on Patriots."
A Pentagon official confirmed that Hegseth welcomed the 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as The Old Guard, to the Pentagon "where he proudly awarded Specialist Iglesias the Joint Service Commendation Medal for the execution of his duties at the Tomb of the unknown Soldier on November 11, 2026."

CNN first reported the incident.
Hegseth, his wife, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh were taking photos in front of the tomb after a Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday at Arlington National Cemetery when some in the group were heard laughing and chatting after the photos were taken. The soldier patrolling in front of the tomb, Spc. Thomas Iglesias, stopped walking and faced the group.
"All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times," Iglesias called out.
Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell later said of the incident that the soldier "correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum."
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the US' most sacred war memorials, and politicians, foreign dignitaries, and other notable individuals frequently visit to pay their respects to US service members. It's expected, and not unprecedented, for the sentinel guarding the tomb — a 24/7 job delegated to soldiers with The Old Guard since 1948 — to maintain an atmosphere of respect around the tomb by correcting visitors who get too loud.

Commendation Medal
From Wikipedia
The Commendation Medal is a United States military decoration presented for sustained acts of heroism or meritorious service. Each branch of the United States Armed Forces issues its own version of the Commendation Medal, with a fifth version existing for acts of joint military service performed under the Department of Defense.
Joint Service
The Joint Service Commendation Medal (JSCM) was authorized on June 25, 1963, and is awarded in the name of the secretary of defense to members of the Armed Forces of the United States who, after January 1, 1963, distinguished themselves by meritorious achievement or service in a joint duty capacity.
This award is intended for senior service on a joint military staff and is senior in precedence to service-specific Commendation Medals.

Ex-CIA director faces criticism over memoir
David Morgan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ex-CIA Director George Tenet faced accusations of hypocrisy from former espionage officials on Monday for not speaking out earlier against the White House’s push to invade Iraq, which he criticizes in his new memoir.
Six former CIA officials, including former top terrorism experts, called on Tenet to return his presidential Medal of Freedom award for failing to speak out in 2002 and 2003 as the administration pressed the case for war based on flawed intelligence.
“We also call for you to dedicate a significant percentage of the royalties from your book to the U.S. soldiers and their families who have been killed and wounded in Iraq,” the officials said in a letter issued over the weekend.
“By your silence you helped build the case for war,” the letter said.
Tenet also came under fire from former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer, who headed the agency’s hunt for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
“The former director of central intelligence is out to absolve himself of the failings of 9/11 and Iraq,” Scheuer said in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post. “We shouldn’t buy his attempts to let himself off the hook.”

Developments in case
On August 19, 2010, a Naval administrative panel of three admirals voted to recommend Nowak be separated from the U.S. Navy with an "other than honorable" discharge and that her rank be reduced from Captain to Commander. The panel's recommendation would be reviewed by the Naval Personnel Command and would ultimately be determined by the Secretary of the Navy.
In March 2011, Nowak petitioned the court to seal the record of her criminal proceedings, citing harm to her family and their livelihood. The motion was granted. On July 28, 2011, Assistant Secretary of Navy Juan M. Garcia III said in a statement that Nowak would retire with an "other than honorable" discharge and her pay grade would be reduced one rank.

This is why the rank of General of the Armies was only given twice in US history
By Ruddy Cano
Updated Jul 5, 2022 5:27 AM PDT
General of the Armies is a rank so high up in the strata of power that only two people in the history of the United States have ever attained it. Keep in mind: This is not General of the Army, it’s plural — all the Armies. Today, it is the equivalent of a six-star general with autonomous authority equal to the Admiral of the Navy, but senior to General of the Army, General of the Air Force, and Fleet Admiral.
How did one attain this an honor and the right to exercise complete control over our Armed Forces? Historically, you either win the War to End All Wars like John Pershing or be George Washington.
Years later, in 1976, Congress decided that it was inappropriate that General George Washington was outranked by four- and five-star generals in the nation’s history. Washington retired as a lieutenant ‘three-star’ general and was subsequently out ranked officers of the Civil War, WWI, and WWII, including General Pershing. Something had to be done. America could not allow George Washington to be out ranked — that’s borderline blasphemy — so they did something about it.
On March 13, 1978, Lieutenant General Washington was promoted to General of the Armies, effective July 4th, 1976.

Swift Vets and POWs for Truth
From Wikipedia
Formation May 4, 2004
Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, formerly known as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), was an American political organization (527 organization) of United States Swift boat veterans; former prisoners of war of the Vietnam War, formed during the 2004 presidential election campaign. It was done for the purpose of opposing John Kerry's candidacy for the presidency; the campaign inspired the widely used political pejorative "swiftboating", to describe an unfair or untrue political attack. The group disbanded and ceased operations on May 31, 2008.
SBVT asserted that Kerry was "unfit to serve" as president, based upon his alleged "willful distortion of the conduct" of American servicemen during that war, and his alleged "withholding and/or distortion of material facts" as to his own conduct during that war. SBVT stated that "Kerry's phony war crimes charges, his exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift boat operations compel us to step forward." The group challenged the legitimacy of each of the combat medals awarded to Kerry by the U.S. Navy and the disposition of his discharge. Further, SBVT said that Kerry's later criticism of the war was a "betrayal of trust" with other soldiers, and that by his activism he had caused direct "harm" to soldiers still at war.

When she shares her dream with the others they tell her about Quynh, the first immortal aside from herself that Andy's found, who was sentenced for witchcraft and cast into the sea in an iron maiden approximately 500 years previously. The other immortals have been unable to locate her, and she has been continuously drowning ever since.

SS United States
From Wikipedia [retrieved by me, Kerry Burgess, 11/12/2026]
SS United States was an American ocean liner that was built during 1950 and 1951 for United States Lines.
The ship was designed by American naval architect William Francis Gibbs and could have been converted into a troopship if required by the United States Navy in time of war. The ship served as a US icon
In late October 2026, her sinking was announced to occur on 12 November. On November 9, 2026, SS United States departed Mobile for its designated reefing location. That same day, Okaloosa County announced that it would sink the ship on November 11 instead of November 12 due to wind concerns.
The SS United States arrived at its reefing location on November 10, with final preparations being made that same day. On November 11, after the sinking was delayed for a second time from its original time of 1:00 PM CST, the Pensacola News Journal reported at 1:36 PM CST that a Fort Walton Beach Fire Department fire boat had begun to pump water into the ship, beginning the process of scuttling. At approximately 4:50 PM CST, officials reported that two valves that allow seawater to flow into the ship had been opened, and that the "process toward final descent" had begun. At approximately 5:47 PM CST, all remaining valves were opened and all remaining crews onboard had departed the ship as water began flooding the lower compartments. However, the flooding remained very slow. By 7:33 PM CST, the ship was noted to be in the process of actively sinking. After more than seven and a half hours of flooding, the ship suddenly developed a severe port list and capsized over the course of fifteen minutes, finally slipping beneath the waves at 9:00 PM CST.

Giles Prentice: Yes, sir. Aviation Week has been following the development of the B3 for years. They have "stringers" - guys camping out in lawn chairs all night out by the Whiteman perimeter fence - watching just in case one of these things take off. Now, they're gonna know that one took off last night, and they're gonna know that it didn't come back. Now, we put out a press-release saying a C141 went down in Utah, they're gonna put two and two together. Aviation Week is gonna run a story, everyone's gonna know what really happened, and we're all gonna look extremely stupid. We're better off just telling the truth.

USS Wainwright (DLG/CG-28), a Belknap-class destroyer leader, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for members of the Wainwright family
Fate
Wainwright was decommissioned on 10 November 1993 and was mothballed for most of a decade. On 11 June 2002 ex-Wainwright was used as a live fire target and struck by two Harpoon missiles from HMS Richmond. Remaining afloat overnight, she [sic] was attacked the next day by Royal Navy attack submarine HMS Tireless, which hit Wainright with a Spearfish torpedo, severing the bow. US aircraft then attacked her before she was scuttled with explosive charges.

It was awarded for Operation Praying Mantis in 1988. Returning Navy units were to receive a Presidential Unit Citation, but it was downgraded after Iran Air Flight 655 was shot down by USS Vincennes.[citation needed]

Put yourself in the captain's place. U.S. ships have been attacked by aircraft in the gulf, at the cost of American lives. You have one battle under way, and now there is a new potential threat. It's heading toward you at 450 knots. Not so long ago, another U.S. Navy cruiser shot it out with air and surface units at the same time.
