Slain U S general buried with honors at Arlington
Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, the highest ranking U S military officer killed in combat since Vietnam, was buried with full honors at Arlington National Cemetery. The service featured a riderless horse, a 13 cannon salute, and speeches by his family and Defense Secretary Hagel as his son Matthew and daughter Amelia paid tribute. Greene, 55, died Aug 5 at Kabul's military academy when a gunman dressed as an Afghan soldier opened fire. He spent 34 years in the Army, authored improvements in soldier equipment, and earned a Ph D in engineering.
