THEY LEFT OUT THE COLD WAR


THEY LEFT OUT 
THE COLD WAR 


WARS LISTED ON A GRAVESTONE IN 
ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY 

The Washington Post has an article reporting on family members' protests of the inscribing of "propaganda" names for America's recent wars on the headstones at Arlington National Cemetery: "Operation Enduring Freedom"; "Operation Iraqi Freedom"; "Operation New Dawn." Previous names looked like those above: "World War II"; "Korea"; "Vietnam." (No "Cold War," however much it molded and warped so many lives, and deaths.)
