The World War II Memorial
The planned WWII Memorial on the National Mall has sparked controversy, its critics questioning its necessity, location, and design. What do you think?
Ronald Herr,
Landscaper
"I think the solution is to keep talking about this for the next 20 years. Then, when the last WWII veteran finally dies, we can just drop the whole thing."
Phillip Porter,
Systems Analyst
"Isn't Tom Brokaw's plan to personally fellate every living WWII veteran thanks enough?"
David Andujar,
Auto Mechanic
"I'm not convinced what they did was so great. I made it to the end of Castle Wolfenstein in, like, two hours."

"This monument ruins the symmetry of the national mall. The World War III one, though, will nicely balance the south end and lead the eye toward the reflecting pool."

"Those WWII vets are just jealous of the Vietnam vets and Holocaust survivors."
Dana Forsch,
Social Worker
"Only by building a memorial to those who risked their lives for their country can we finally shut them up."
