Just like how we "ended combat missions in Iraq". Turn on PBS news every night at 7:50 PM and I still see quite a few soldiers from Iraq in the obituaries.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,

Rings truer with every passing day.
