I realize that there’s a controversy over non-veterans being buried at Arlington. But I don’t have a problem with a family being buried with their relatives.
I think you’re lacking in logic.
Arlington is a sacred place for 'heroes'... of which NONE can ever claim Teddy the Soviet lover to be a hero ... and my 'logic' says that taxpayers pay for his upkeep long after he no longer was the 'lion' of the Senate'... They should have dumped his remains where he killed that gal ... Family or no family... You are NOT going to like 'judgment day'. no easy peasy powder puff stuff ...
There are foreigners buried at Arlington.
The most prominent is Sir John Dill, former British Chief of the Imperial General Staff. He was in the US for two years, 1942-44, as British rep to the US Combined Chiefs of Staff, until his unexpected death in 1944. He was very highly thought of by everyone in the US military and political leadership of the day, having contributed greatly to US mobilization and coordinating Allied operations. He was a great friend of George Marshall.
He even has an equestrian statue in Arlington.
