I doubt that will ever happen “ for the good of the nation”
But I would bet good money McCain was told privately at the highest levels that he would NEVER be buried in Arlington

There is a special section there for victims of the Forrestal tragedy

What I would like to see Trump do ... submit the name of Chief Gerald W. Ferrier for the MOH. Read up on the man and it seems to me he was screwed out of being recognized for his heroism for political reasons.

Re Chief Gerald W. Ferrier: In the word’s best non-hackneyed sense, that was an awesome account.

Good idea.

It would be interesting to hear Meghan's reaction.

As a former POW and a Purple Heart recipient, McCain had every right to be buried at Arlington. No one would ever have denied him that right.

Adm. Chuck Larson and John McCain were close buds at the Naval Academy.
It was their plan to be buried close to each other at the at the U.S. Naval
Academy Cemetery.

I guess people can speculate if that is the truth.
