Why do they have to stand there? Is it a threat to be robbed? I mean it's cool, but it's a hurricane. Go inside.

Dude, you gotta back. You'll have a greater appreciation for what these guys are standing for. Well worth the trip.

Due to extreme weather, they wouldn't make them stay out there, right?

I don't think you understand the personality and commitment of these guys.
You would have to ORDER them to stand down.
These guys don't take this lightly.

Here's my non-professional opinion...

Since 1930 - the tomb has been guarded 24/7/365 even through previous hurricanes and other bad storms.
^^^That part isn't my opinion, that's fact^^^
vvv Below you can read the opinion vvv
IMO, it is representative that the military stands with and for ALL of their brethren ALWAYS, whether they know the person or not (tomb of the unknown solider). It isn't about necessarily protecting the tomb from robbers or anything, but a statement of the determination of our service men and women to never give up or back down.

Honor Guard is very distinguished unit.

This is especially true of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment. Tomb Sentinels are elite soldiers. Guarding the Tomb of the Unknowns is something that these men aspire greatly and work very hard to achieve. When you appreciate the spirit of sacrifice, honor and tradition that these guys are upholding, not to mention the physical and personal considerations, you can then appreciate why some rain and wind does not faze them.

So, you're suggesting the guard has deserted his post?
