I agree, but he, and all former presidents, are eligible for burial at Arlington regardless of whether they served.

According to 32 CFR 553(a)(6)(i) a president is eligible for burial at Arlington only if a veteran.

If he dies tomorrow (may it please God), Vance would order him buried in Arlington, federal regulations be damned.

If he gets buried there I'm going to dig him up and put him in a dumpster where he'll end up somewhere he won't be found

He has desecrated everything else, but that would be to far. That would be an insult to every member of the military

Wherever he's buried, make sure it opens up into a PortaPotty. (Regretfully I forget who I stole that from !) nt

He's probably working on getting his birthday declared a national holiday.

He wants someone to guard his grave for free, that is why Arlington works for him

No that is an honor for a U.S. Military Veteran not for somebody who paid for a phony excuse from a doctor
