Default Bury them in Israel--or stop fighting wars for them

Arlington Cemetery Running out of Space to Bury Iraq, Afghan Veterans

Quote:
Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, where Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are laid to rest, will soon have to close to new burials unless eligibility rules are restricted or the grounds are expanded, Army officials said Thursday.

"We are filling up every single day" at the 154-year-old historic site across the Potomac from Washington, D.C., said Karen Durham-Aguilera, executive director of Army National Military Cemeteries.

"Within the next few years, Section 60, known for recent wars, will be closed. This is on our mind every day," Durham-Aguilera told a hearing of the House Armed Services subcommittee on military personnel.

Section 60 would be the first to close to new burials; projections are the entire cemetery will have to close to above and below ground interments in the 2040s, said Katherine Kelley, the cemetery's superintendent.
