KABUL, Afghanistan -- Actor-comedian Robin Williams brought some much deserved laughs to U.S. troops in Afghanistan this holiday season.This is Williams' fifth USO tour. He'll spend seven days touring the country and bringing Christmas cheer to the troops.

Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong is also visiting the troops.

"It's really nice to see there is a lot of people, famous people that care about the troops, come out and give us a show and boost the morale while we're here. I truly appreciate it," said U.S. Army Sgt. Chad Opmiller.

"It's an absolutely wonderful opportunity to come out here and celebrate the holiday season with people that appreciate our service to the country. It's absolutely wonderful," said U.S. Army Master Sgt. Laune Blundel.

“.least he could do after the way he mocked the military in “Good Morning, Vietnam”......”

He was an actor,playing a role.

Some actors actually portray killers.

That’s show biz.

I never saw the film. But when it comes to movies involving war and politics, I think most actors care very much about their role in it before accepting.
