She's too much of a liberal to be that generous without politics being involved.
Watch for liberals to be pro-military in the near future, and they may even go to a church.

I work in the television industry. A recent job had me working with her brother Vance-- he was a producer on the show (I'm an editor). Vance has also been seen in front of the cameras on the Daily Show.
One day he walked into my bay to give me some notes on a cut and he noticed a little flag-raisers of Iwo Jima poster I had on the wall. He eyed it curiously and said in his flat monotone: "What's THAT all about?"
I prepared for battle. Told him that I was a patriot, supported the troops, America and especially the Marines-- the guys who put it all on the line first.
He nodded and said: "I was a Marine."
Whoa! We immediately started talking about famous battles and operations, etc. Stupidly, I didn't ask him where he was trained, when he served, if he was deployed, etc.
I'll bet Ellen respects the military more than we might think...
No good deed goes unpunished? Who knows her motives, (possibly compassion???) matter of fact, who cares? I'm sure those soldiers don't. She's a sweet lady. Finding Nemo anybody?
Quote me one political thing she said this election cycle.
