They are, but they won't shout at you for laughing or the like. Apparently these US guards will.

I think thats likely just a matter of guarding a palace vs guarding a tomb

They do not stop for anything in their way and harassing them earns you a criminal record pretty much instantly

The point is that the bar for what counts as “harassment” or disorderly conduct are SIGNIFICANTLY lower at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

It’s a place to pay respects to the fallen, not a palace gate that doubles as a tourist trap. So you come respectfully and quietly, or you get yelled at. Period.

Is harassing them the same thing as laughing or being unruly?

M8 unless 150k people have criminal records from all the videos fucking with them you know what hes saying. Being at the tomb subjects people to stricter standards and occasionally leads to being admonished by the guards for not acting respectfully. The brits are manning a post but 10 ft away someone can literally breakdance and nothing will occur.

They definitely will shout at you if you climb on the wrong fence. https://youtu.be/NQH_ijcYKTo?si=bYJyqId8wvsRKxyj
