this is fucking disgusting.

Just because she was a veteran doesn't mean she deserves to be honorably buried. She was engaged in open sedition. Rushing to assault our elected officials in attempt to subvert the democratic process. That's about the furthest thing from "honorable" as you can get.

I'm a veteran, I didn't commit treason against my oath and country.

Fuck her, and fuck every "veteran" like her.

To me, it kind of seems like the requirements to be buried in military cemeteries have declined significantly in the past several decades. It’s been scraping the bottom of the barrel for at least five years.

For example, my stepfather was in the army for four years and had a great time. He was stationed in Germany in the early 60s, found a conservative wife there, learned Hitler wasn’t all bad from her family, and got a job right after he left.

He insisted on being buried in a national military cemetery when he died 50 years or whatever after his awesome time in the army.

It sucks, given that both of my grandfathers actually were kind of heroic in world war 2, and they’re buried with their families.

It feels like stolen valor.

Edit: I forgot I posted a similar comment about this same thing earlier today! I thought I canceled it but apparently not. Sorry to repeat myself.

Unfortunately winners write history and we are having to watch in real time as these fuckers rewrite history to suit their agenda.

We need to make sure everyone is reminded that she was a traitorous cunt no matter what the white house or air force say.

As a Veteran of a different country I agree with your position.
