Mark Esper Says He’s ‘Anxious’ To See What Comes of Arlington Investigation

EXCERPT:

ESPER: "Yeah, I saw the breaking news this morning about this, the story they came out. It’s important that a report was filed. I think it should be investigated. We should find. You know, out during my tenure as secretary of the army, I was kind of the so-called custodian of Arlington Cemetery, since the army has responsibility for it, and there is no more hallowed ground in this nation than Arlington Cemetery, where we've been burying our heroes, our veterans since the Civil War. So, look, I think bottom on the principle is, no person or party, either side, should ever use Arlington National Cemetery or any of our cemeteries or battlefields for partisan political purposes or break the so-called rules. We need to maintain its prominence, its importance, its sacredness to the American people and certainly to the veterans. So I am anxious to see what comes out of this."
