Convicted? No.

IMO, any conviction that does or would have lead to a dishonorable discharge should make a military burial a big "Negative. Over".

Why single out rapists? How about murderers or bank robbers?

Personally, I think the military funeral is to honor their service. Plenty of very bad people have served in the US armed forces. We can honor their service without it implying that we approve of them as human beings.

Timothy McVeigh earned a soldier’s funeral. I’ve no idea whether he received one or not.

If the man served with honor and his military record is clean. What he did after his service doesn't matter

Just where do you draw the line with criminal behavior after he served?

JMHO

He's dead. That's the important and good thing. It's too bad human garbage get anything based on past service. But you see it, even at higher levels.

Of course even traitors can be remembered for prior service. Benedict Arnold comes to mind. Ever see have the occasion to see his honor?

If he was honorably discharged the answer is yes.

Sorry, conduct as a civilian does not reflect on past military service.

WTF? I can see it if he'd hanged himself before being convicted of the crime (even if it was going to be a slam-dunk), but this is absurd.

Yes, but only if he alive at the time.
