Aye.
The really sad thing is that apparently he was feeling down because of having to do roles he didn't really want to — I wonder if somebody in his life had said something along the lines of Hey, the troops love you, and it's obvious you love them too, so why don't you finish this stupid crap up and do a couple USO tours where you'll really be appreciated
if it would have been enough.
Sometimes it's that simple to give somebody a little hope.
