Just heard on noon news that Kennedy will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. What an insult to our troops!
LOL!
Did some risky duty in Europe for two years during Korea.
The only water Teddy got near was when he drove off that bridge and killed a young woman. Teddy does not qualify for Arlington National Cemetery and should not be slotted in next to JFK.
Unbelievable arrogance - is there a source link for that quote?
“He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him. “
Those of us who grew up near Boston knew Kennedy cheated all through his undergraduate years.
I just hope they don’t cremate him. It would be like a raging tire fire.
Any sitting or former US Senator may be buried at Arlington. My guess is EMK will be buried on the same hillside as RFK, just down from the JFK gravesite.
Actually His Royal Highness, Sir Rhosis of Liver, had quite an impressive naval record. Recall that he distinguished himself under enemy fire from hostile Republican forces, when as commander of the S.S. Oldsmobile, while in a dazed and semi-conscious state, he swam thousands of yards through dangerous shark-infested, riptide currents in search of lifesaving medical assistance for a drowning aide -- a feat of incredible courage, strength and endurance that nobody has managed before or since.
oh goody - the democrats have such a reputation for turning funerals into classless circuses.
So they’ll use Arlington as a stage for passing healthcare.
Can’t wait for the spectacle.
Once the thuggish pig is planted, it will be hard to keep grass alive over his box ... the same will be seen when sinkEmperor is planted, too.
Reminds me of that liberal liar Larry Lawrence faked docs stating he was injured in WW II as a merchant marine when he actually dodged the draft. He was temporarily buried at Arlington and then disintered,

Is he a vet? If not then it is a breaking of protocol that I do not agree with.
Allowing him to be buried at Arlington Cemetery is a slap in the face to the great Americans who lie in rest at this eternal memorial.
Whitey Bulger's boys wouldn't let them get access.
LOL, he should be buried in Chappaquidick.
Well said. Nor does it offend me.
Meaningless... *I* am a veteran, yet don't qualify for burial at Arlington (although I would qualify for burial at most other veteran's cemetaries). There are specific qualifications set forth for burial at Arlington, and extreme doubt obtains in my mind that he had met those qualifications...
