Should we have a "Last KIA" monument at Arlington?

With the advances in DNA identification, it's unlikely that future wars will produce truly 'unknown' soldiers.

But should we erect a shrine dedicated to "The Last American Soldier To Die For A Mistake"?
It seems to me that's the least we could do.
The very least.

"Normally, such (military) families have argued for the U.S. to stay in Iraq and accomplish something so that their loved ones did not "die in vain" -- at least according to reports by the president and many other officials who meet them. But now Domenici reveals that many are asking him to do more to save those still serving in Iraq.

“I heard nothing like that a couple of years ago,” he said. “I think that’s the result of this war dragging on almost indefinitely.”

A more profound shift could hardly be imagined. It means the media should re-examine a familiar phrase that I, literally, grew up with. They ought to update John Kerry’s famous question in 1971, as a Vietnam veterans’ leader, “How do you ask someone to be the last American soldier to die for a mistake?”

1. Well, it seemed like a good idea an hour ago.

Maybe not.
