International law requires that POWs who die while in captivity are to be "honourably buried" (Article 120, 75 U.N.T.S. 135), which generally means burial in a military cemetery. As such, a few Axis POWs are buried there. In addition, a couple dozen non-Americans, who distinguished themselves via cooperaton with American military, are also buried.
The official Arlington Cemetery URL lists these.

Why would Vang Pao not be allowed to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery?
The parties concerned are no doubt familar with Arlington's "Application for exception", otherwise they would not have received the Army's rejection on the matter. The very best next thing for the concerned parties, would be to locate and identify any and all "other exceptions" to the rules of Arlington that were buried there. Once those "exceptions" have been identified and cataloged, then compare them to Vang's case. If Vang's case matches those successfully buried "exceptions to the rule", then Vang should also be admitted; and an appeal can be launched. If Vang's situation does NOT match the other "exception to rules" buried personnel; then the concerned parties might have an answer as to why Vang's request to be buried at Arlington was rejected (denied).

Some presidents, for example William Howard Taft, have been buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Others were buried at a family plot in their home town. I enclose a link to where previously deceased presidents have been buried.
