JTN: Arlington National Cemetery will disinter the remains of former Navy Lt. Andrew Chabrol, who was executed in 1993 after he kidnapped, raped and murdered a sailor who rebuffed his advances.
While awaiting execution in Virginia for the murder of Petty Officer 2nd Class Melissa Harrington, Chabrol secured an above-ground burial for himself in the veterans’ cemetery, the Navy Times reported last week.
Chabrol had completed his service honorably, so at the time, the Navy did not have the grounds to legally exclude him from being buried in Arlington.
The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, passed in December 2022, included a provision from outgoing Rep. Jackie Speier (R-Calif.) that requires the Army secretary to disinter Chabrol from Arlington by Sept. 30 and have his remains transferred to his next-of-kin or dispose of his remains as appropriate if no one responds to the Army’s request.

FYI, Jackie Speier was at Jonestown in 1978 with her Boss Leo Ryan when the group was ambushed at the airport. Ryan died and Speier was shot 5 times. She played dead and lay there on the tarmac for 22 hours before she got treatment. Jim Jones and his followers then drank the kool-aid.
Speier is from the Bay Area, a big-time lib.
I READ THE TITLE WRONG, THOUGHT IT SAID MAN REMOVED FROM ARLINGTON CEMETERY AND EXECUTED FOR KIDNAPPING AND MURDERING SAILOR
I WAS THINKING BRAVO, DEAD TWICE!!
Now, if we can just get McCain’s rotting ass out of Arlington.
Ted Kennedy too!
We need a trebuchet. Launch all these douche bags into the Potomac and let the turtles finish them off.
“Chabrol had completed his service honorably, so at the time, the Navy did not have the grounds to legally exclude him from being buried in Arlington.”
Yeah, but the guy was still a convicted murderer. Surely they had rules in place at the time against something like THAT, regardless of how he finished his military service.
RE: McCain & Kennedy
You take those men out of Arlington, but you can’t get them out of Hell.
Did he defend America?? Was he mentally damaged by serving?? I see vets all the time at the VA hospital and sometimes some don’t seem to be quite all there, PTSD or pain drugs???
The headline wouldn’t make it past a competent editor. I can read it at least three ways. ‘Headless body found in topless bar’ it isn’t. However, headline scribe, if you wanted people to read the story it works perfectly. I couldn’t not read the story after reading the head, no scrolling past that one. Real men of genius?
