Let's see them take up arms.

What military base are you posting from?

You must be in the military, right, or otherwise you'd be a hypocrite. Especially when you consider that some of these people are too old to enlist. Even if you go in as a nurse or doctro, the age limit is 47, IIRC. Maybe you want to go kick in doors with Michael Douglasand Sylvester Stallone, but I wouldn't want to, they're older than dirt.

And since you're not a hypocrite, surely you've condemned every civilian who hasn't enlisted in the same manner, right?

Well, considering the fact that my family includes a father, sibling, 1st. uncle, to name a few, who faithfully and proudly served in the military, and that I wanted to serve my country, but was denied due to a preexisting medical condition, qualifies me as a hypocrite.

I failed to read the memo which states that challenging celebrities (and I will be more specific so as not to be wrongly accused of generalizing), namely celebrities, such as a coward who fled the country in order to avoid serving the the US Armed Forces (Mr. Stallone), and this does not include all celebrities mentioned in this article, automatically describes my person as one who has "condemned" every "civilian" who did not serve. Absurd.

Unlike the average "civilian", celebrities live a different lifestyle. And although it is commendable for someone of their influence to publicly denounce terrorism, I'll be more convinced of their convictions when I see them lead the charge, or go to a hot spot in order to render aid, or at the very least, take the designer shades off and mix it up where only the military or relief forces are willing to go.
