He loathed the military yet is being buried at Arlington.    Apparently no one in his family has paid attention to his commentary the past few decades.  



What better way for the Kennedy family to continue to snub the military, than by burying the traitor Vast Teddy in amongst so many honorable men.

It has got to make Robert E. Lee sick to the stomach, to know that vermin like this will be feeding the worms on his land.

His daddy got him a safe position in Europe during the Korean War I think, he served less than 2 years and left the Army as a Private.

BTW- How many Privates are buried at Arlington?

Anyone who held an elective office of the U.S. government can be buried at Arlington as long as they served on active duty in the armed forces.   And though Bourbon Breathe Kennedy must surely have been as much an embarrassment to the US Army as he was the US Senate, he did serve in the Army.

Fixed for ya buddy. :II:

Last I saw, the qualifications for a 4'x8' piece of Gen. Lee's real estate were pretty exclusive in that regard.  I seem to recall that there was a stipulation regarding the candidate's conduct during civillian life as well, that would further seem to eliminate the Lyin' Bastard of the Senate, but I could be wrong on that one.

Crossfield is buried at Arlington.

Kinda weird that he died in a Cessna single-engine 210 with his experience. With the exception of maybe a wing coming off, control surface cables breaking, etc., I just don't see how anyone can crash one and not live. Cessna's like the 150/152, 172, 175, etc. can land on a dime and will float forever. Anyone that's ever flown a 152 or 172 knows what I'm talking about. Then again, his actually went through some violent stuff, IIRC.

Ok, NM. I just Wiki'd. I heard about the story, but never really knew all of the details.

Quote
While lightning itself poses a relatively minor risk to all-metal aircraft like Crossfield's, thunderstorms often contain turbulence severe enough to break an aircraft into pieces, as well as strong downdrafts, heavy rain, severe icing, and heavy hail. The Gordon County Sheriff's department reported that debris from Crossfield's aircraft was found in three different locations within a quarter mile,[5] suggesting that the plane broke up while it was still in the air.

Holy hell.
