A WWII monument is long overdue for Washington; but I shudder to think of what would be designed these days. Instead of a landmark memorializing America's glorious victory over the forces of evil, the Washington libs will end up constructing some off the wall monument to modern art that demonstrates the evil of war and how little it accomplishes.

I would like to see a statue of a GI with his foot on tojo's throat and running a bayonet through hitler.

Now that most of those who were actually involved are dead, those who profited by their sacrifice will proceed with building a monument to their own ideas of what the meaning of it should be, secure in their happy thought that the dead veterans are no longer in a position to complain about the perversion of their intent or ideals.
