Unfortunately any elected official in the US government is qualified to be buried at Arlington. This is really an insult to the American Heros buried there.
So this means that Hussein Obama can be buried at Arlington!
Now you want to talk about an insult — it is that!!!
This is a travesty against the service members buried there.
Kennedy was in the Army after getting expelled from Harvard. He father pull strings to keep him in Paris rather than in the Korean War that was raging at the time; his father also got his enlistment cut from four years to two. He never rose above the rank of Private.
Well, as our American Heroes were bigger than life and strong in mind and spirit, maybe they will kick Kennedy’s ass once he’s settled in.
Not quite. They would only be eligible IF they had also served in the military ( as opposed to having retired from the service or having been awarded a service medal such as the Purple Heart or Silver Star.
The requirements are posted here: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.org/funeral_information/guide.interment.html
To be buried in Arlington Cemetery a person must have one of these qualifications: they must have died in a war, have been an honorable discharged winner of the air force cross, or the distinguished service cross,or the distinguished service medal. If you have the medal of honor, navy cross, purple heart, or a silver star you can be buried in the cemetery. A person could also be buried in Arlington if they are a certain disabled veteran or a member of armed forces who served long enough to be officially retired. Anyone who was in a federal office or in a cabinet level position or anyone who was in the Supreme Court can also be buried here.
Only if they also served in the military. Bawney Fwank will never be buried in Arlington. Nazi Pelosi will never be buried in Arlington
I am sorry that at this person's death I cannot find anything good to say. He was a murderer, a criminal, and a liar.
Kennedy should be buried in a car, under a bridge, in the water.
And I just hope, that when Bill Clinton's or Obama's day comes there is no push to bury them at Arlington.
Just because a person is an elected official, should not qualify him to an honorable resting place like Arlington. Someone needs to change the rules on that.
On the other hand it does make it easier to piss on their graves. So if you go to the September 12th fiesta, you can stop off and piss on Teddy’s grave on the way out of town.
