Army Criticizes Trump Campaign for Cemetery Incident
News summary

The U.S. Army has issued a strong rebuke of Donald Trump's campaign after an incident at Arlington National Cemetery where a staff member allegedly pushed aside a cemetery official while attempting to take photos during a wreath-laying ceremony. The Army highlighted that Trump’s team was informed of federal laws prohibiting political activities on cemetery grounds but proceeded with their plans regardless. Although the involved employee chose not to press charges, the Army condemned the actions of the campaign staff as violating the decorum expected at such a revered site. The incident occurred during a visit commemorating the deaths of 13 service members killed in Afghanistan, with Trump later using footage from the visit in campaign materials. Critics have underscored the importance of respecting the grieving families at Section 60, where many fallen troops are buried. The Army reiterated its commitment to maintaining the dignity and respect owed to the nation’s fallen heroes.
