Monday’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery by former president Donald Trump was already causing some grumbling … over concerns that the hallowed grounds of a military cemetery were being used for political purposes.

Paul Rieckhoff is a former Army infantry officer and combat veteran of Iraq … 20 years ago he founded the Iraq-Afghanistan Veterans of America … and went on to found the Independent Veterans of America.
