He was a USO Performer though.....very often in Iraq and Afghanistan. I saw a good photo of this in the Daily Mail. This needs more recognition. I am sure the troops loved him.

So he gets a +++ compared to most of Hollyweird who would not visit Iraq and Afghanistan for the troops

IIRC, my son somehow ended up helping to build the temp stage for Robin Williams' first visit to Iraq. In any event, I do know that despite disagreeing with the man's politics, my kid gave him lots of credit for being there.

Anyone who does the USO show in dangerous places has my respect.

I have a long relationship with the USO. They, and FR, are the only organizations who get my “widow’s mite”. (And seriously, all I got IS a mite!)

My Uncle played Piano for the Andrews Sisters in the middle of the pacific ocean during WW2. I LOVE the USO.
