Toby Keith, Kid Rock, not a rocker but Jesse James (motorcycle guy...). WWE guys/gals. There are more of us in America than there are thems......silent majority ain't just a theory. And another +1 for left leaning folks who still entertain the troops and leave their politics at home. |

Lol...does that classify as a personal attack? I'd just like to know for future reference... |

|
Last warning. Trolling is an offense also. Stop now. |

Hey, don't get this thread locked, I still need an answer!!!

There was some rap "peace summit" by Farrakan to keep the peace in the rap world...50 declined to attend... |

I edited my post after I saw your comments... However, I didn't say I liked a guy, then called him what he did and looped me in with it...This isn't the first time he has gone off on a member here, and I'm sorry, but if someone says Al Franken is "awesome" they probably are wanting someone to respond back to them...for we all know how "swell" of a guy he is, regardless of any PR trip to the gulf before his Senate run. Paul Wellstone is rolling over in his fucking grave right now... |

I don't care what your politics are.
What I DO care about is the observance of the CoC. Next willful blowout causes me to take sanctions. Your call. Anybody got a problem with another member trolling them, IM me. Give me links to look at. |
|
Fine...I happen to not do things like that, because I have a pretty thick skin and never was one to tattle. If someone in authority chooses to interject I'll abide if I want to stay around here... |

He's probably too busy with his OLN reality show... On the same topic, I wonder what British celebs do...for some reason I doubt Sienna Miller is walking around Iraq on meet and greets with the troops, but I have been known to be wrong before... |

The phrase Sig Heil comes to mind. Quit your crying Take a deep breath and count to 10. |
|

Dude, our mods and staff are helpful, courteous (except tbk1 ) and overall pretty cool. He even issued TWO warnings when one was probably enough. Where do you get off coming in here and telling a mod who is enforcing the CoC to quit crying? You are WAAAAAAAY out of line. |

Sigh There comes a time when someone asks for it. Well, Fat, take a deep breath and count to 48. Hours, that is. Be glad you got off that easy. |

PWNED!!! |

a LOT of names! shit, we can get a more accurate list here at arf.com! well, waddaya expoect from a brit paper? TheKill - "MWR" is the old name for "morale, welfare, and recreation services". in the marine corps, it's now "mccs" which i think stands for "marine corps community services". i'll see if i can find you poc's for all the services... |

Quoted:
· Danger and anti-war stance keep celebrities away · Shows now depend on Christian hip-hop groups Jamie Wilson in Washington Saturday December 24, 2005 The Guardian Just as the seemingly intractable nature of the war has led to a growing recruitment crisis, so the United Services Organisation, which has been putting on shows for the troops since the second world war, is struggling to get celebrities to sign up for even a short tour of duty. I call BS on this whole article, Jamie Pulled this crap out of his/her ass. Recruitment crisis? BS It's already been showm that alot of celeb's have gone over. Can you say Jason Blair boys and girls? |

Thanks Raf. |

The guys in Iraq could probably use the 'Cathouse' crew by now
|
|
Actually, there is..... just no media coverage. Per Capita a US Soldier or Marine is twice as likely to be killed or wounded in Afghanistan over the last year than in Iraq. Add that to the fact that besides Bagram most of the FOB's here have living conditions worse than Iraq, and that there are a higher percentage of troops here that actually get outside the wire. But Iraq is much more popular and easy for the media to follow. |

yeah i was rather amuzed a few weeks ago reading an article where 50cent stated he was a big supporter of bush and would have voted for him if he didnt have felony convictions. I find it suprising that he doesnt go with the crowd. He seems to actually think for himself.
Oh and Don King likes bush too....... |

We had some of the WWE people show up at our little base- my God, one of those guys is freaking HUGE! We also had Jessica Simpson and her husband as well as some latin bands. The Miller Lite girls backed out as did some other group who I can't recall.
Blues Traveler does some PSAs on Armed Forces Network and I want to say they've been over too. Check out their website and click on his Bio. He;s got one pic of him with a 240 and check out his "other skills" www.bluestraveler.com/memberBio.php?mid=1# |

Do you expect any better from our overpaid entertainers?
I don't. |

This is right on the money. |

Who's the chick in white wifebeater???? |
||
|
man, in the first shot, isn't that a nipple??? |

|
I wanna say Godsmack has done a concert or two either over there or at bases here for the troops.
Edit: I remember seeing pictures of the band, in particularly the lead singer with some of our troops and he was holding various guns and stuff. |
|
the posted list is sorely out of date...there are many more stars that went over there that aren't listed. Alot of singers have gone..I know for sure that Kid Rock went over early in the war..and like Toby Keith, etc...

Amen... Ya know, the article claims support has chilled since 9/11. Well, let's examine WHY shall we? Getting Saddam was a good thing. Puttin Iraq into the 21st century is a good thing...But you want to see support for the effort to pick up??? Show the American people that the American Govt has not forgotton 9/11. We already KNOW the troops haven't!!! Performers are willing to go BECAUSE of the troops...NOT because of the Govt. I dunno...maybe it's the media or maybe the agenda truly has changed, but I don't get a sense that our troops are over there looking to quell Al Quada's power. It seems every time I turn on the TV it's all about Iraq and her freedom and her elections and her shiite issues. What happened to Afganistan? Are we still even looking for Osama??? I support our troops and I believe every good American (performer or not) does. But Dammit, time to (excuse the phrase) shit or get off the pot. It's been 4+ years. America needs to see Al quada cowered and shivering in fear. Starting with Osama. Rant off. |
|
|
Yes, we are still looking for him. We still have 18,000 troops in Afghanistan. Didnt we just kill their #2 or #3 man in charge? Ask a lot of Special Forces or 10th Mountain or 101st....they are there. And they are definitely NOT forgotten. |
||
|
I hope so. I dunno...the article pisses me off because while I agree we have become complacent, the two battles are NOT one and the same. Iraq is one issue and 9/11 and the war on terror is another, at least in my eyes. Maybe I'm wrong. I dunno...I'm no political analyst, but I really hate that the media plays it one way then decries it another. |

Make do? Hell, I'd like to make do with Jessica Simpson! |

I disagree. The media, liberals, and even some people here want you to think they are two different issues, but I see them as the same one. We are fighting to establish a couple of stable [more] democratic states in order to stem the overwhelming tide of mullah-brainwashed future terrorists coming out of the area. Freedom and prosperity tend to put a damper on poor/ignorant/starving recruits willing to blow themselves up for idiotic madmen who don't shave and wear turbins. I do agree that our men and women in the Afgan get very few mentions in the media though. And that's lame. But hey... why mention people doing their job (and a damn good one) when you can hang-out at the Baghdad Hotel and film explosions and tell Americans that it's all our fault and we shouldn't be over there and our boys and girls in uniform are terrorizing the poor Iraqi citizens? Never-mind all the good that's gone on in both countries, let's just focus on the death of innocents (caused by the terrorists... uh... I mean "insurgents" or "freedom fighters"). +1 on Gary Senise. The guy is A+ and top notch in my book. If hollyweird had more of him we'd live in a MUCH better world. |
|
|
Thanks...another way to look at it...hmmm... regarding Gary Sinise...<<sigh>> If Hollyweird had more like him, it'd also be a prettier place Hey! if you boys can oogle thae Milano chick, Sinise needs oogling by us women! |
||
|
is it just me or do all of them appear to be the #2 or #3 man in charge? |
|
|
50 cent obviously was one of the few who went over b/c he's got his bullet proof vest. yadig?
|
|
We kill so many of them, by the time #2 died, #6 has taken his place and then we kill him. |

|
Well, that's what yo uwould at first think, however - according to John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL), a conservative radio talk host - that's not true. He has gone with Al to Iraq (not sure about A-stan) several times and he does it because he truly feels a need to support the troops. If JBL says it, you can take it to the bank, as he's a pretty straight shooter. |
