    The World War II Monument is a terrible monument. As Charles Krauthammer wrote (in the linked column) when the monument opened:

    The memorial’s major feature — 56 granite pillars 17 feet high, adorned with wreaths and marked with the names of the states [placed in chronological order of their admission, which was a big issue during WWII, when Hawaii and Alaska were not states] and U.S. territories — is a conception of staggering banality. One descends the main entry to the monument and the pillar to the left is marked American Samoa; on the right, the Virgin Islands.

    What do the states have to do with World War II? …

    But that is just the beginning of the banality. The monument is strewn with quotations inscribed in stone, meant to inspire.

    Those quotations include obligatory sources akin to the highest ranked pregnant transgendered naval officer, but nowhere is there a quote from Winston Churchill, certainly the most inspirational speaker of World War II.

    The World War II memorial is lame on a cosmic scale.

    Rich old guys going after young actresses is a very old theme. It’s been done a gazillion times before.
