I’ve had some time to digest this, and you know what really bothers me?
There’s no names.
We lost less people in GWOT than Vietnam, yet every one of them is listed.
They say you die twice: first when you physically die and then again when people stop saying your name.
An early look at the @GWOTMF memorial planned for Washington, D.C, released today.
It's planned on what are now athletic fields at the corner of Henry Bacon Drive and Constitution Avenue, near the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

I don't know, man.
I just want a spot that honors the fallen and mourns the tragedy of the GWOT.
I don't know what it looks like, only what it feels like...
It feels like misappropriated blood and treasure, a train wreck in slow motion, a long slow repetitive miserable agonizing grind felt in isolation by a fraction of the population.
Maybe that's it. The GWOT was America's longest war. It was fought entirely by volunteers. Fathers and sons fought on the same battlefields separated by decades. Guys went back over and over and over again. An entire generation of millennials gave their youth to the effort - not because they were made to - but because Uncle Sam asked them to and they obliged.
Whatever. Glad a memorial, however it may ultimately take shape, is making progress.

Your Apache gets blown out from under you and while you’re floating in the Strait of Hormuz, this mofo rolls up.
I know someone who landed butt-first on a vehicle to win a competition with his team. 20 years later he’s paying the price.
