US Air Force (USAF) veteran Julie Frein said she is willing to give up her burial plot at Arlington National Cemetery to Tamerlan Tsarnaev - the deceased Boston bombing suspect. The

Anne Arundel County woman told Fox45 she feels the terrorist suspect should be able to be laid to rest and just wants it to all be over.

And how does she have such burial rights, and no they are not assignable.

How freaking generous of her!

This stupid idiot isn't eligible for a plot. She did a 2 year stint in the AF. There are only 3 ways to get in there...

Veterans now must have died while on active duty, be entitled to retirement pay or have received a top award such as the Medal of Honor.

This ugly POS woman can go f herself.

In smarter times, the media would have laughed at her stunt, by saying "lady you don't have a plot to give away."

Today the inept media gives her 15 minutes in the limelight.

When I read it I knew she was talking out her azz. My uncle is there, I know the rules.

Offering up a plot in Arlington to a known terrorist should result in her 'privilege' of being buried there IMMEDIATELY REMOVED. PERMANENTLY. Those plots are for heroes and veterans!!

To give one to an enemy of the U.S.A. is beyond reprehensible. Staggers the mind that a vet would even offer this. Thoroughly disgusted here.

Your average vet does not get burial rights there, without kia, or a chest full of combat metals, the only exception is you can get burial rights to join a family members, normally spouses can be placed on top of their husband's casket, if they have not remarried.

Actually, there are multiple ways to be eligible for burial at Arlington and one way is to be the widow of a veteran that is already interred there. Her husband was a 20 year Navy veteran. Still, regs are regs. Let's look at them.

Eligibility for interment at Arlington National Cemetery is verified at the time of need (at the time of death) and cannot be verified by the cemetery or accommodated before that time. However, in accordance with the 1986 Title 32 Code of Federal Regulations Part 553, section 15, the following individuals are eligible for interment (ground burial) at Arlington National Cemetery:

a.Any active duty member of the Armed Forces (except those members serving on active duty for training only).
b.Any retired member of the Armed Forces. A retired member of the Armed Forces, in the context of this paragraph, is a retired member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or a Reserve component who has served on active duty (other than for training), is carried on an official retired list, and is entitled to receive retired pay stemming from service in the Armed Forces.

d.Any former member of the Armed Forces whose last active duty (other than for training) military service terminated honorably and who has been awarded one of the following decorations: 1.Medal of Honor
2.Distinguished Service Cross (Air Force Cross or Navy Cross)
3.Distinguished Service Medal
4.Silver Star
5.Purple Heart

g.The spouse, widow or widower, minor child and, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Army, unmarried adult child of any of the persons listed above.
A surviving spouse who has remarried and whose remarriage is void, terminated by death, or dissolved by annulment or divorce by a court with basic authority to render such decrees regains eligibility for burial in Arlington National Cemetery unless it is determined that the decree of annulment or divorce was secured through fraud or collusion.

Even a war widow loses the burial privilege if she remarries and is still married at the time of death.

So, there you have it. All this woman has to do is to prove that she and her deceased 20 year Navy veteran husband had a polygamous, bisexual marriage with Tamerlan Tsarnaev that was recognized as legal by the Federal Government and that Tsarnaev's remarriage was annulled. Then she can legally get Tamerlan Tsarnaev buried in her husband's grave.

Translation: It ain't happenin'.

The media might as well interview a New Yorker that wants to sell her share of the Brooklyn Bridge.

One the other hand:
