The War and the Dead

Evocative story from CNN today about the last remaining veterans from the "war to end all wars."

Meanwhile, the war is still being fought in Verdun, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel allegedly "snubbing" a tribute to World War I soldiers after French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly changed the venue of the ceremony.

Perhaps the most horrifying war account of the day comes from the Miami Herald, which ran this obit for a disgraced Vietnam War vet.
