UNAWM Reopens with New Reaper War Exhibit
Tony Rogers, Alliance News Network In a solemn, high-attendance ceremony, the United North American War Museum celebrated its official reopening with a new, permanent exhibit about the Reaper War. This new exhibit includes the Hall of the Fallen, where the flags of military units that fell to the Reapers are on display. It also incorporates “Stories from the Front,” an interactive installation that features interviews with Reaper War Veterans from various theaters of the Reaper War. Various political dignitaries and military officers from across Citadel Space were present for the ceremony. “This is a bit more personal than most of our other exhibits.” said UNAWM Curator William Pronger during the ceremony, “After all, we experienced this war right on our doorstep.” Presslink News Aggregator: Collecting headlines from across the galaxy.

Observation produced by the subjects is the source of all knowledge. We can only learn by studying the effects of the Reapers and Cerberus on the victims of the war. And while such research is valuable, it doesn't take place in a museum. Why not? An open exhibit is hardly an ideal place to study Reaper-induced alterations to neurophysiology. Fully understanding the effects of indoctrination upon the body will likely take decades of study, which would make a public display rather pointless. To someone without a specialist's degree, there are no visual distinctions between an indoctrinated brain and a normal on. Opening an indoctrinee dissection unit in a museum at any time in the near future would do nothing to educate the public. Even after the pertinent information was learned, such an exhibit would be far more informative if it contained models and holograms.  Click for more information. |

Also, the UNAWM isn't a science museum, it's a military history museum. In Flanders Fields the Poppies Blow, Between the Crosses, Row on Row - LtCol.

 The Truth |
I have many things to say about such an exhibit. None of them are polite. Or able to get past censors.
Damn the REAPERS! So says The Truth. |

And while such research is valuable, it doesn't take place in a museum. Why not? Because then the Alliance won't be able to keep it theirs alone. Governmental friends are the most fickle and capricious. No thing exists that tide or time cannot erase. Such is the fragility of history. |
