JFK grave marker: Eternal flame
RFK grave marker - a simple plaque and a cross
Teddy's proposed marker - a fountain and pool with an Oldsmobile in it.

he requested assignment to Fort Holabird for Army Intelligence training, but was dropped after a few weeks without explanation
Even then they knew he was a security risk.

Look at it this way. If you are walking around Arlington National Cemetary and have to take a wizz, there is now an appropriate place to do it.

At least he’s gonna be buried, and is no longer among the living....I'll believe that when I see the stake in his heart.

He may qualify as a senator but not from his military ‘service’. Do you recall in the 90’s when Clinton tried to bury his money man (need a name here) who had been in the merchant marine? They caught him at it and he had to back down. At that time they were quite clear about the requirements for burial due to declining space.
IIRC it was minimum grade of E-5 AND a purple heart. Teddy doesn’t qualify on either.

I think a Burial at Sea would be most appropriate for the late senator who loved spending time on his yacht and was an avid Swimmer.

OTOH, Teddy K.’s entire existance has been living off the public dime in spite of his family’s inherited wealth. Burial in Arlington is the final string to be pulled, if you get my drift. Fitting end to a life-time of string-pulling.

Not to be picky, but when referring to Scotch, it is spelled “whisky”. Otherwise, an excellent point!

My parents had a book titled "Teddy Bare", baring the scandals involving Ted Kennedy. Published circa 1970. Filled with a heap of info on Ted's life (cheating on that Spanish exam and getting expelled from Harvard, Chappaquidick) and how he conducted his political career.

Ted Kennedy would desecrate any ground he’s buried in.

Arlington National Cemetery is consecrated ground wwhere American heros are buried. You can make a case for Jack as a martyred POTUS and Bobby both killed in the line of duty. But come on, give me a break, The Swimmer!!! What the hell did he ever do. He was a philanderer, responsible for the death of a young woman. He promoted abortion, and let’s hope St.Peter brings him to account for the slaughter of 40m+ babies. He was a boob and doesn’t deserve Arlington Nat’l Cemetery.
