Well, Namath had the cool factor, in spades.
No doubt the men you mentioned should be lauded for the time spent serving in the armed forced, but why is it “even better” if some actor did what millions of regular guys did?
They point is that they weren’t just actors as you stated. You seemed unclear on that.
Namath was just a ball player. BFD.
At least Krankor has had ONE person agree out of 300 posts.
[... why is it “even better” if some actor

Name one actor today who has put their career
on hold to join the military in order to pro-
tect our freedoms?
PAT TILLMAN is the only one who comes to mind.
He was a star, but not a movie star.

Well, it is sort of the point of the thread.
Men and women with very public profiles laid down their lucrative careers, rolled up their sleeves and answered the call of their country in substantial ways.
Yes, millions of men and women did the same — that is the point. The actors, actresses and entertainers went shoulder to shoulder with the brave men and women and asked for no special favors.
TODAY’s entertainers not only have NOT joined the cause, but use their celebrity to cowardly undermine our efforts to keep freedom alive.
As we were pinged, Pat Tillman was a notable exception. His death was a tragedy in so many ways...
