Yeah, I'm sorry what should have been a great visit for her to Arlington (which is magnificent, by the way, if you haven't walked the grounds) was spoiled to some degree by the political nuts and just plain nuts. I really love Washington, because I've never lost my love of American history. But even I am surprised at how a relative hand full of deranged homeless - maybe several dozen around the city's tourist byways -- can make the whole experience uncomfortable, and for a young woman alone, even unsettling.
