I've been to the one in Saigon,Vietnam (Museum of American war crimes!!). Most depressing afternoon of my life, I went on a wet Sunday and came out feeling like topping myself.

Can't imagine the American one would be much more cheerful, I would stick to the Magic Kingdom if I were you!

Well thats my thoughts exactly but hubby really wants to go and bearing in mind he didn`t actually want to go to Florida anyway we are bribing him wih this outing !!

I visited it last year on Veteran`s day when the travelling Vietnam Wall
memorial was visiting.There are various pieces of eqipment to see, a helicopter, sabre plane, patrol boat and a small building with a mock up of a medical centre. The most poignant thing was a set table for veterans who are missing in action.You would have to be very interested in Vietnam, and it is a fair drive . If you want any more details let me know, or phone the museum for directions when you get there

I've visited the memorial wall in Washington DC and it's a very sobering experience.
