Comedian Robin Williams poses with American Soldiers while on a USO tour in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The History Channel had an hour long special on the USO, with both clip from Today (such as kid rock) and back in the day with Bob Hope (may God rest his soul).

The semi-documentary also pointed up that the shows were about 20% of what the USO provides to our troops.

One thing that has changed is the crap the entertainers take for “supporting the war” by doing USO shows. But that’s Holloywierd for ya.

BTW the Joan Jet interview portion of the show were most interesting. She was given a chance to perform at Pearl Harbor - but pushed and got gigs in the ‘stan and the sandbox - so, ya, Joan Jet ROCKS!

Thanks for posting this, SandRat. My son got to see most of the show Dec. 17th in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait before he went on duty and enjoyed it tremendously.

He was standing near an entrance of sorts, waiting for it to begin when Miss America walked by him. Then he said he saw this “hairy” guy who turned out to be Robin Williams. He said the show was great, including Kid Rock and I could tell it meant a lot to him that these folks had traveled so far to be there for them.

He also was very enthusiastic about the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders who had performed a couple of weeks before.

God Bless these entertainers, the troops deserve it!

I know that Toby Keith is also popular amongst the troops!
