What is your take on the fact that Obama is now the very first president not to go to the heroes ball? With a daughter in the Air Force and a Dad who fought in WWII I think it sucks…

Great Link Wordsmith! I happened to catch Angelina Jolie on a news/interview thing a while ago about her trip to Iraq and the humanitarian efforts that she feels can and should be made there. I detest hollywood as a rule, but I have to say that what she said truly impressed me as intelligent and well thought out. And the piece from the WP shows that too. She has my respect for her honesty and candor about the situation. No spin, just the facts.

And her statement about what the Soldiers told her about going home echoes what I hear from all my guys, and is contrary to certain nameless people who continue to yammer about how the war is lost. That's coming from anti-war hollywood as big as it gets. Stay focused, finish the job. She's blond and SHE gets it!! lol

I actually did see Angelina Jolie in the Intl Zone in Baghdad when she came here to do her "humanitarian awareness" for Iraqi refugees. She penned a nice piece in the Washington Post.

I want to thank all of our subscribers for their support. This war is painful, but we must continue to support our troops until the day that Washington says, "Lets bring our boys home!" Whether you are filthily rich, or piss pour, whether you live in Big City USA, or Small Town America, we owe our lives to our troops, and regardless of which side you're on, always have respect for our troops. It is because of them that we are still alive today, we owe them that at least.

My and my families support for you always, and you can say that again about hollywood, and except for a few intelligent caring celebrities, they don't know which end is up. Quit watching them long ago, get my information and keep up with you, the really important people online. Love to you all, and just FYI have 5 in my extended family who have served along side of you all in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Ruth in Bend, OR God Bless You!

White Rose – -

Best of luck and prayers for success on your book-into-film.
Please keep us posted.

Dubai should be a perfect area for filming, as Dubai remains largely pro-American in spite of the shafting given them on the Dubai Ports deal.

SPC B,

I actually did see Angelina Jolie in the Intl Zone in Baghdad when she came here to do her "humanitarian awareness" for Iraqi refugees. I'm not sure what she accomplished, and the IZ is definitely not where "the troops" are at unless you count a bunch of staties and staff officers.

Hey CJ, sorry I haven't been on in a while, we're preparing to go down range. So anyways, I read the article you published about Hollywood not honoring our soldiers, that got me thinking. Why don't we gather some people from Hollywood, get them a plane ticket, give them some body armor and a few things that a soldier needs, excluding weapons, cause we don't want to take any chances, and send them to Iraq to go on at least one convoy with our soldiers. I think that will put a perspective in them and show them a thing about what we go through. Mabey then they'll change their tune after getting gawking looks from Iraqis, and the possibility of going through an IED blast or a shoot out. Of course they will be fully protected, but let's just give them a taste of what we deal with on a daily basis. This remedy will work, I guarantee it. I don't mean to be blunt, but until you experience a deployment, you have no room to talk, and you must honor our soldiers. At least show some respect.

I stopped watching the Oscars years ago ( even when I was in "the business") I always felt there was WAY too much self-aggrandizing behavior going on.
I resent the elites anti American and especially the anti-military attitude. Jon Stewart as most on the left use our military to benifit their needs of the moment. Why hasn't he promoted the positive things our troops do on his show? Yet he'll have the Leftist spew their propagnda . Did you know that the before Oscars parties featured large golden statues wrapped to look like the images the media promoted of the prisoners at AbuGhrab? Stewart was positive towards the troops on national TV,then he gets points… and the Hollywood moonbats didn't cheer. I would have been shocked if they did.
Thank you for letting me post. I apologize if I sound angry.I'm just angry with these Leftist Elitists.
Vincenzo: your points are excellent and true!

First, let me tell you that after 30 plus years service to my country, I havenrither any use for or interest in Hollywood. They have been a tool appeasement and exploitation of the very constitutional rights they so comfortably trumpet when it suits them. Seondly, all this chest beating about Bush lying and people dying is nothing but pure complicity with enemy psychological objectives; three, if President Clinton had done the right thing during the every-escalating credscendo of bloodletting and bodies during the 1990s, President Bush would never have inherited the mess he did, and 9/11 probably would never have occurred. Fourth, it is more than obvious that the same voices and righteous indigation of the ant-war and appeasement crowd-along with their stooge tool politicians were completely and absolutely unconcerned during the 1990s when the blood of innocents was shed repeatedly, and never adequately confronted.
