Veteran of Arlington Cemetery's 'Old Guard' bashes Trump for playing politics on graves

Activist and veteran Charlotte Clymer took to X to attack Donald Trump for his latest actions at Arlington National Cemetery with a detailed account of what it was like to serve in the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, nicknamed "The Old Guard."

Clymer described the importance of repeatedly practicing carrying caskets until the team could make flawless movements, which she compared to a "synchronized swimming team."

That summer, she recalled, was miserably hot in Washington, D.C., and the air conditioning went out in the barracks.
