He has not changed military funeral protocol!
The Flag is provided by the US Military during a military funeral. All US Servicemen/women who were honorably discharged or Generally Discharged under Honorable Conditions from service are entitled to have Military honors at their burial. This service is provided by the US Military, and a detail can be provided by the nearest military installation if available. When one cannot be provided, an honor guard can be arranged with the Local chapter of the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) chapter. MORE SPECIFICALLY -- The funeral home typically obtains the flag from the Department of Veterans Affairs, but through the local U.S. Post Office. A flag request form must be presented. The family may also submit this form directly and request delivery.
Any clergyman can be asked to preside over a military funeral.
Lots of things, but remember they have almost endless resources. You must have a clear-cut, irrefutable, well-documented case to even consider it. If you belong to a military service organization like VFW or AMVETS, they may have a retired JAG member who can advise you.
