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.

If you were in the USMC and you died but had been in World War 2 and are buried at Arlington would you be considered honorably discharged?

Yes, dishonorably discharged service people cannot be buried at Arlington. They now have strict guidelines for eligibility for being buried at the Arlington cemetery. For instance, George Bush Sr. could be buried there but my USMC husband could not be buried there.

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).

Where will President Obama be buried?

Since he is still young and healthy, he has not publicly discussed where he wants to be buried when he dies; when he does make those arrangements, that information will undoubtedly be made known, because presidents are considered public figures and people who remember that president may want to go and pay their respects. 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.


First person buried in Arlington national cemetery?

A fallen Union solider from the Civil War. Arlington had been the plantation of Gen. Robert E. Lee and he owed about 90.00 in back taxes. The government took the land because they required him to come home to pay the tax and he wouldn't leave his command. So, the first Civil War dead was buried in his front yard.
