The Korean war memorial is trippy. Life-sized soldiers slog through foliage in their rain gear. Their gray faces are pained and grim. It is a huge display, maybe twenty soldiers. There is also a wall with sandblasted portraits. It is particularly spooky as the sun is going down. The memorial captures the drudgery of war, if not the carnage or the politics. How are we supposed to avoid more wars if we only remember the sacrifice of the soldiers and not the stupidity of the politicians?
