Pete Hegseth’s Veterans Day disrespect: Letters to the Editor — Nov. 14, 2026

Letters to the editor criticise Pete Hegseth and his entourage for laughing and taking photographs at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day. Writers say the behaviour showed disrespect at a solemn memorial and call for Hegseth to resign or be dismissed, arguing that a service member had to remind the group to be quiet.

A separate letter criticises President Trump’s approach to immigration, warning against amnesty while urging faster legal entry with full vetting. It cites the 1986 immigration law as a failed bargain between amnesty and stronger border enforcement, and argues that any similar concession could damage Trump’s political legacy.
