Commentary
Spray painting the WWII Memorial is not dissent. It is desecration of the generation that beat fascism.
Prosecute vandals hard and surge Mall cameras. Soft treatment invites the next bubble stunt.
Japan honors U.S. WWII sacrifice publicly. America should defend that memorial with the same seriousness.
