If Toby Kieth is such an all American why isn’t in uniform fighting in Iraq? Another chicken war hawk only man enough to sit in the rear like a classic REMF and attack a women for speaking her mind.

John Wayne couldn’t serve due to physical issues.
Audie Murphy was decorated for his duty in the Army.
Jimmy Stewart flew bombers for the Army/Air Force.
Henry Fonda served our country. Not Jane !

Bob Hope orchestrated the USO tours, and recruited many performers over the years, many good looking women, and would say, here’s what your fighting for boys.

Ann Margaret, Cyd Charise, Raquel Welch, Marilyn Monroe, miss Americas thru the years were willing to put up with marginal accommodations and non-hollywood pampering to give the troops a break. Patriots all.

These people will go down as great Americans for giving a diversion from the mud and dirt and death that the troops witnessed sometimes on a daily basis.

Thought-provoking post, well done. Every day, I come to your blog and it is so unique and on the money. Thanks for writing this… some of my best friends are in the military and it is horrible how those rich idiots in Hollywood think they have all the answers. They would be the first to cry and run if a terrorist attck hit our country. Our military are flesh and blood and needs patriotic support, not bashing and not silence. I’m sick of the headlines covering Lindsey Lohan’s drug problems or Sean Penn admiring a dictator. I want America to be America again.

Wow, AFNET, you reminded me of so many I didn’t give tribute to, although sadly, they’re all no longer with us. John Wayne was amazing in his unabashed, loudly professed love of America.

God bless Bob Hope… he was such a national treasure and such a supporter of our troops. I think professional wrestlers (WWF) and the country music industry are about the only groups of entertainers, outside of the USO, who have taken up Bob’s torch to keep morale up for our deployed troops. We need another Bob Hope.

Love your post.

John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Charlton Heston, Audey Murphy, and many others have made their living making movies and yet respected and supported our military men and women.

Bob Hope,…how many times did he give our troops in active war zones a break from the horrors of war ?

These pukes in Hollyweird should keep their mouth shut, and go to their parties and award ceremonies and leave the American People ALONE.

I’m sick of them spewing anti-American garbage on our airwaves.

If they don’t like this country they can leave anytime.
