United States War Museum?

This thought came up while I was reading an LJ blog about a trip to Vietnam and the writer comments on the museums which show how awful the Americans and the South Vietnamese were and how well the POWS were treated at the Hanoi Hilton. So well they did artwork when they weren't playing volleyball. So where does one turn for the American side of things?

Canada has the Canadian War Museum,

Great Britain has the Imperial War Museum,

What does the United States have?

The Pit 11:00 am - 1 hour
Not Just for Kids: Young Adult Fiction
Tracy Worcester, Jeff Beeler, Bill Kolasa, Barbara Trumpinski-Roberts
Some of the best science fiction and fantasy around has protagonists less than 18 years old. Just because Borders puts it in the kids section doesn't mean these aren't books you will want to read.

Best SF Books of 2005
Jeff Beeler, John Scalzi, Tobias Buckell, Karl Schroeder
What were the outstanding works of 2005? What are the titles to look for, and who are the authors to watch?

No program Ops for me this year just active discussion.
