Hmmm. What was Boehners response. Im surprised at this?

I perused this: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/eligib.htm and cannot see how he is eligible except for a law passed by Congress.

If the above is correct then I cannot see how or why this person would merit this privilege any more than the the 100s of 1000s of honorable vets who are not there.

I have relatives who are decorated vets of WWII and most of them are not eligible. Two of them have Purple Hearts and they have said getting shot wasn't reason enough to be buried there.

I am willing to bet that this man if asked would have said he should not be buried there.

Maybe Arlington should go back to the original and only qualification.
