” WINNING! “

I love Charlie...He’s not a hypocrite like all those other Hollyweird jerks..he knows their phoniness and calls them on it!

Great respect for a man who puts his money where his mouth is for our troops..like Gary Sinese. He should do the old Lefty Bill Gates routine and DARE the other cheap skates ..the “Staaars” to match his money!!!

Bravo, Mr. Sheen. Precious little consideration and attention is given to our troops.

I’m sure you’ll get a lot of heart-felt thank yous.

I think I’ll buy him a beer at the VFW post.

While I don’t care for the public announcement of his charitable act, I applaud Charlie for supporting our troops.

” The actor has pledged to donate 1 percent of the profits from his FX comedy “Anger Management” to the USO, with a guaranteed $1 million minimum. The first installment of $250,000 will be donated in a private ceremony next week.”

Kudos to Sheen but that show is not going to make that much money. I hope the USO get the whole million but I tend to doubt it.

With Charlie, you get what you get unlike most celebs. Good on him.

Good for him! He’s still a goober, but at least he supports the troops!

Yes, this is very good. And he’s a real jerk, so you know he is truly doing it out of the goodness of his heart, Sheen is not trying to score points with anybody.

Hey, if he was, he’d be giving the dough to Obama, or something.

See if he really gives the money after he sobers up or comes down....cardinal rule, only accept cash, not promises from drunks and junkies!

Hopefully the money gets to the men and women.

I smell marketing. Never trust a Hollywood professional.

Remember, long before his meltdown and other antics, he did star in “Navy Seals”, which was intended to have the same effect on regular Navy recruitment that “Top Gun” did for Naval Aviation (it didn’t work, but at least they tried, and the movie wasn’t that bad IMHO: starring Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Rick Rossovich, as well as Sheen).

Thank you for posting this.

Liberals are wrong, but we've had patriotic Americans like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in our past who advocated many things that all Christian conservatives and most Freepers would reject.

A liberal who is willing to support the troops is someone I can respect as a legitimate American with whom we can have a rational debate about how America should be run, rather than being someone who hates America and wants to see it fail.

I realize this is probably marketing, but that's normal in Hollywood. Sheen could have donated his money to lots of causes that would have gathered more positive attention, so I'll take the donation at face value unless proven otherwise.
