There was a time when war memorials displayed heroic images but those days are gone. Now the powers that approve the designs want to pretend that Americans aren't capable of heroic acts in defense of their Country and war is merely an act of universal suffering. About 50,000 Americans died during the three year Korean War, sometimes in fierce fighting, but the Korean War memorial looks like a bunch of grunts headed to the chow hall or the latrine, ditto the three racially correct grunts in the Vietnam memorial who seem to be lost. The Wall is a different deal but it memorializes only death instead of valor.
