I've been quite hot and bothered by the recent event of the Vietnam Memorial being defaced. Several panels of the wall apparantly may not clean up to original condition. I listen to an AM talk radio show frequently on my way home from work. The host made a couple of points...
1. It hardly broke any news anywhere of this act.
2. The host kicked an idea of punishment for the incident...
Life in prison? No. Death Penalty? No. Slap on the wrist and a fine? Wrong again. Jail time? Strikeout +1. His thought was a one way ticket to the country of the guilty party's choice and revoke one's citizenship.
Before I give my thoughts, what are yours? Do you think this is a just punishment for defacing ANY National Monument?
If you want sources so that you know the straight story, give me time. I'll try to look it up.
