Last weekend, I was at a war memorial for all American wars. There was an individual display for each war starting with the Revolutionary War all the way though to the current conflict in Iraq: in each display case, there was some clothing and other accessories from that particular war. At the end of the memorial, there was an empty display case for the next war.
First thought: "Wishful thinking."
Second thought: "It's sad that they have to have an empty display case for a future war."
Third thought: "It's sad that I think having only one empty display case is wishful thinking."
