Walks across the grave, kneels down and lights a smoke off the eternal flame.

Stripped of worthless life would be to good for the POS!
This shit passes me off, and this is a French soldier not an American and it still pisses me off. Hell, I don't give a fuck if it was a North Korean soldier! Show him some fucking respect! They died in service of their country. Defending what they believed in, or were drafted into service with, or without believing in the cause, but still serviced.
If you can't give a little respect. Fuck you! Death but the most painful and slowest method!

Is the French Tomb unguarded? Try that at our Tomb and a bad motherfucker with a bayoneted M-14 will fuck your shit up.
This is just for somebody being noisy.

The tomb of the Unknown Soldier in UK is in the entrance to Westminster Abbey - 'buried among kings'.
No guards here.

My father was stationed in France in the 1950s and ’60s, and I still remember an incident in which an American GI did the same thing. I don’t know what the Army did to him, but the French were understandably very upset and a very strong warning was issued to American community about showing proper respect to the memorial.

The French might consider adding another grave to the AdT, with a tombstone that reads "Here Lies The Unknown Asshole Who Desecrated a French Soldier's Grave."

Where is the public outrage of stripping the mans residency? If someone would have done something like in the US there would be a advocacy group coming to his rescue and releasing a statement how he was just using the available options he was given in life.

In both France and the Netherlands, there are families that have “adopted” the graves of American soldiers, and have lovingly tended them for 80 years, generation after generation. The French monarchy went broke fighting the British on the side of the Americans in our revolutionary war. They are due a lot of respect from us.

A 47-year-old Moroccan national is facing deportation from France after he was caught on video lighting a cigarette using the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located beneath the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The incident occurred on Monday, 4 August 2025, and has sparked national outrage due to the sacred significance of the memorial, which honours fallen French soldiers. French authorities swiftly intervened, arresting the man and initiating procedures to revoke his residency permit.
