America, the Uncomfortable

This is just plain dumb.

In a nutshell:

Congress passed a law in 1997 barring those convicted of capital crimes from being buried in a national cemetery. The law was designed to block the possibility of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, a veteran, being buried at Arlington.

But some now wonder whether the restriction should cover a broader range of criminals.

...Towers said his office received calls this week from veterans uncomfortable with the idea of a convicted murderer being laid to rest at Arlington, with some saying they would not like to be near such a person in death.

In death. Death.

Get over yourself.
