That won't go over well in Hollywood.

"The American people haven't had to sacrifice anything."

Other than our way of life before 11 Sept 2001.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Pretty big talk from a Hollywood multi-millionaire. Plenty of American families have sacrificed ALL THEY HAD since 9.11.

no thanks, we dont need a draft.

Wow... I knew "Paulie Walnuts" (his real name escapes me) supported Dubya, but I thought I had read that Gandolfini was a 'RAT. I know for sure Edie Falco is a 'RAT, unfortunately...

[Yossarian]

Dear Mr. Gandolfini:

If you click on THIS LINK, you will find jobs being offered in Iraq, by KBR (a subsidiary of Halliburton).

Upon first inspection, I don't see "truck driver", but I do see "bus driver". There are many jobs of varying qualification levels. As I myself am mulling over what I can do to help, I occasionally check this site.

Perhaps I will see you over there. If you bring NYC bagels, I'll bring some California wine. Deal?

Maybe we can get him to whack al Sadr.

People have no sense of the history and sacrifices that has left this country free.

I think it would be good for our culture if at least the young men all had mandatory service for two years like Israel does.

IMO, the benefit would be among other things that there would be more independent men down the line and less sons living at home with their parents in their 30s.

Glad to see "Tony" go. Gary Sinese can't entertain the troops all by himself (all the other "loyal" entertainers have lost interest, I hear)

[TheWasteLand]

I'd like to see him actually do it, instead of talking about doing it. Then I'll admit he's got quite a pair of spicy meatsa ballsa.

[I see my hands]

I'm pretty sure this guy is a BIG Bush hater. Maybe he said what he thought was so completely outlandish it would mock the Iraq war effort. But.. what do I know?

The Sopranos is SO BAD this season, no wonder he wants to get away!

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Wow, I was really surprised that he's only 44, but I checked his IMDB entry, and it gives 1961 as his year of birth.

[MadIvan]

The offer is appreciated, but I tend to prefer Corleone tactics to those of the Sopranos. It would do a world of good if some Muslim leaders woke up to a severed pig's head in their beds this morning.

"The American people haven't had to sacrifice anything."

Tell that to the hundereds of thousands of troops who have been over here living in not exactly Club Med conditions, missing their families, births of their children, graduations, ets. And that's not even mentioning the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

And even we civilians who come here, although we do so voluntarily, give up freedom and live life similar to that in a minimum security prison.

He should come here. These Hollywood types need a dose of reality.

[Caipirabob]

He's got balls for saying this in Hollywood, that's occupied territory...

[Jackknife]

I like the point he is making. Perhaps in a roundabout way, he is saying to the POTUS to get tough and finish this thing off.

Draft illegals, with amnesty and automatic citizenship after three years of service.
