I am sorry but I just think this is wrong. Did Tim McVeigh get buried in a military cemetery? Just curious because I don't know. But I guess he could too, if a rapist can?

TUCSON, Ariz. - The mother of a convicted serial rapist who was accused of attacking four women in San Diego before he killed himself says her son deserves to be buried in a military cemetery.
Authorities said James Allen Selby, 38, hanged himself with his bedsheets Monday morning at the Pima County jail hours before he was to be sentenced to life in prison for attacking six Tucson females, including a teenage girl.
Selby served in the Army for almost seven years, was a Persian Gulf War veteran and earned an honorable discharge.
"My son fought for his country, and if, in fact, he did all these things, his mind was tainted by what he saw and couldn't handle in this war," Betty Brewer said Tuesday in a telephone interview from her home near Oklahoma City.
Selby's family will pay for his body to be returned to Oklahoma for burial.
A representative of the Fort Sill National Cemetery, a Veterans Affairs facility in Elgin, Okla., said the facility has begun paperwork for Selby's burial.
