IMO, Richard hit the nail on the head. I try to go to ANC at least once a year (Rolling Thunder). I think Arlington's memorials should be geared more to the "big picture" memorials, i.e. The Wall (Vietnam), The Korean War memorial, the WWII memorial, etc. Granted these are all on the National Mall but that provides the atmosphere of the area. I think that a memorial to those who served during the current operations should be erected on or near the Mall in the near future.
As far as SOF goes, those memorials belong at the "home" bases of the units as Richard has stated. By doing that, I think it adds a significance to the memorial and brings a sense of pride and honor to the soldiers of the units.
