If wars don’t really end until the last soldier dies, then World War I finally ended on Feb. 4, 2012 with the death of Florence Green in King’s Lynn, England. Mrs. Green was 110 and had joined the the Women’s Royal Air Force in September 1918 at the age of 17.
If the past truly is prologue, then the US War in Iraq will “end” sometime in the early 22nd century.
