Why is he entitled to be buried in Arlington???????? I could feel my head pound when I read this, I think my ears are bleeding.
This is per my husband who spent 26 years in the Army.
" Teddy was Commissioned in the Advocate General Corps, (US Army Reserve) when he graduated from Law School, but I don't believe he ever served on Active Duty. The reason they gave for Bobby being buried there, was so he could be buried next to his brothers: JFK (WWII US Navy Officer, Pres. of the US, screwer of Marilyn Monroe, etc.) and Bobby,( who never served a day in uniform). There are other non-veterans buried in Arlington, but few so disreputeable as Bobby."

Due to his Honorable Service he can be cremated and placed in Arlington Columbarium or put in the ground in any other National Cemetery.
But I understand that a Senator rates burial there...I don’t really agree with that one....
The most amazing part is the SPEED with which this is being done.
Most people interred at Arlington have a 6 week or so waiting list..this is for all....
Apparently his site had been pre-picked which I also thought was against policy.
I also thought some figured John Jr should be buried in Arlington but they settled for burial at sea..Can’t exhume him from there...Which I pretty much had a problem with but do understand he probably did rate a ‘little something extra’???
