I really don’t think that this has to do with cutbacks but, it might be so...
There is a limited availability of burial spots and the military has a limited number of burials per day...
0bama could spend a small part of the stimulus money to solve this problem.
Of course he won't do it, he is still too busy using that money to repay his campaign contributors in the United States and all that foreign money he received.
Maybe not at Arlington, where the limiting factor might be availability of grave sites and the desire to have each funeral be quasi private.
However the lack of honor guards for the much larger population being burried at other National Cemeteries (Like the "Punch Bowl in Hawaii or Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio) or at the various State Veterans Cemeteries (There's a fairly new one adjacent to Fort Hood, where my coworkers' husband remains lie), or even in other non veteran's cemetaries, is a direct result of the much diminshed numbers in the armed forces, all services and componenents.
