Are you serious? First, I can say, obviously, they are unknown. Second google unknown soldier and read all about it.

It just seems really odd to me that something like this would rise to the top as the most honorable and respected service in the military. Again, please excuse my ignorance, but I would think that the most elite and respected servicemen would want to do something other than standing like a statue all day guarding a cemetery. Just the thought of taking an otherwise boring, uneventful, and potentially shitty job like standing in the rain guarding dead people, and making it the most prized and respected duty, just doesn't make sense. And there's got to be a point where it's a danger to these guys, to stand out there. I mean, if a tornado rolls right through there, are these guys expected to die because of this tradition? Or would they be justified in running like hell?

If you ever get the chance take a visit to Arlington. The Gaurd is one part of the gravity and majesty of the place.

This^

Once you've been there,once you've watched the changing of the gaurds, You'll then understand and get it.
I've been there twice.
This past summer was the last time with my two boys(8,12).
If it sends goose bumps up your 12 yr olds arms and he Gets it so would you.

Its a feeling in the air of complete and total respect that almost has to be witnessed to understand.

It's awesome, just leave it at that. As for the tornado, maybe this picture answers your question without words. It's just a matter of intensity. Maybe they'd run, maybe they'd stay. Here's the question (if there really is one), what might you do?

I've known one guy who had this duty.... He thought it was like looking into the eyes of God. How's that for liking your job!

Agree or not, there are awesome men standing their watch. And it may not be on the front lines, it's where they are.... I love these guys, whomever they are! And I thank them for their service too!

They are not just guarding "dead people". My god. They are watching over their brothers and sisters.

The tomb has been guarded continuously since 1937. Service in the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) is considered to be an assignment of the highest honor for soldiers. Their dedication to the duty is so strong that when Hurricane Isabel approached, the soldiers were ordered to seek safety. It was an order they disobeyed, and the Tomb was guarded throughout the storm.
OK, so evidently they aren't ordered to stay in dangerous weather. And in fact they disobeyed orders during Hurricane Isabel, and stood post during the storm.

This is even more confusing.....
