There was no "clear end" to WWII, either, especially in the early years. Matter of fact, we're just now formulating an "exit policy" for Germany.
Haven't even started working on one for Japan. And even bring up Korea!
Around '48,
my Dad's Navy ship made port
in Tokyo and
the sailor's all toured
the city. No one got shot.
And a few years back
my brother toured through
Germany and wasn't shot.
There was a clear end
to that war. This war
doesn't even have someone
to discuss peace with . . .
