As such, it should not be put out to pasture, banned or delayed until the war is over, as Meredith has suggested
Video games, memorials to the dead, all before the wars are over! How very twenty-first century! Epic empire fail.

Northwood Memorial
A "memorial" to the US military who have died in the (ongoing as of 2010) Iraq and Afghan/Pakistan wars is planned for 2010. [1] This would be the only known memorial to an ongoing (or perpetual) war in the US, constructed before the war is over by any standard (legal (eg WWII) or logistic (eg Korea)). It will have spaces for about 8K names; to date (early 2010) about 5K US military deaths in Iraq and 1K in Afghanistan/Pakistan have accumulated. Note that only US military deaths will be included (although not all US military are US citizens). Irvine City Council members have no published basis for the estimated body count [2] though there is provision to provide more space on other facets of its pillars.
