How dare you insinuate I am a racist? On what basis? That I don’t think people who are not American military should be buried at Arlington? Do you always go so far out of your way to be insulting and nasty?
“So we’re appealing to the White House,” Mr Waters told AFP news agency
—————————————————————————————— Good luck.
He fought the Communists and helped the United States was the reason he was denied.
The General should be put in a place of respect, but not where we bury our hallowed American servicemen.
There’s also a young woman buried there who apparently died from leukemia at age 20. The only tie to the military I could find is that one or both parents were in service.

If she was 20, single and died from leukemia she was probably an ‘authorized’ dependent, who qualifies if one parent does but think they have to ‘share’ space.

US Army Regulations (AR-290-5) Arlington National Cemetery
Article 2.6E is ‘interesting’.
Hmong Leader Vang Pao ‘MAY’ be eligible for inurnment at ANC Columbarium, but like most Govt Regs it is kind of ‘cloudy’ and can be interpreted in a couple of ways.
BTW, Teddy boy is ‘eligible’ due to having been elected to high US office as long as his 2(?) year US Army stint ended honorably, despite the fact his time during Korea was spent in Germany
Say what?
Who the hell is we?
Do you have a frog in your pocket?
Did you fight in that war?
WE didn't lose it, it was given away by a bunch of dumb ass politicians in a corrupt administration that was influenced by a an equally dumb ass bunch of liberal, tree-hugging fools that convinced said dumb ass politicians that their voting block was big enough to hurt them.
Had WE been allowed to fight the damned war, it would have been over in about three weeks. Instead, WE were hamstrung by a bunch of touchy-feely crap rules of engagement that resulted in the loss of over 59,000 brave and able US soldiers, for no reason whatsoever.
Lost it, my ass.
He fought for our country, He belongs in Arlington.
“This man was actualy a war hero that fought for the U.S.” I am with Racehorse and chesty_puller.
For the record, Costa is highly responsible for the water diversion that's killing off California's agricultural industry in the San Joaquin Valley.
I agree. This is not an insult to U. S. troops buried there. He was an important leader of men who fought for our interests. It obviously served his purposes too, but he even fled his homeland for having sided with us.
I say honor the man.
