I had no idea Jon Voight was Angelina Jolie's father.
As far as the interview goes, another Wow, this one about something that actually matters.
What a great guy. Sounded very well rounded. Careful with his words too.
He gets hugh respect from me for actually visiting the wounded troops, then speaking so highly of them, instead of blathering on like so many other Hollyweird types without the intestinal fortitude to witness the sacrifices the troops are making for us and get first hand reports of what they're doing over there.
Heck Hollyweird, any liberal. I wonder if Nancy Pelosi or any of the DemonRAT leadership bothers to go to Walter Reed? If Pelosi visited Walter Reed, it might wipe that permanent S-eating grimace off her post-tensioned face. I take it back, I don't think any of the troops would want to see her, probably do more harm than good.
I liked the fact that he sees the war on terror in historical perspective, and as a long term effort with far reaching consequences.
I especially liked the fact that he was very tactful and diplomatic in telling the reporter to his face that he basically thinks reporters are LYING LIBERAL POND SCUM.
I can't say that I've been a big fan or followed his career. I've only seen a few of the many movies he's made, mostly the hits, Midnight Cowboy, Catch-22, Deliverance, The Odessa File, Mission: Impossible, and Enemy of the State, but he's always done a great job with his characters.
At first, I thought he played the part of "Stevie!, you gotta do it or they're gonna throw you in the pit" in the Deer Hunter, but after looking it up, I found out that was John Savage.
I don't know why I thought he played "Stevie", they don't look alike at all.
Anyway, kuddos to John Voight, and thanks for posting this, I'll pay more attention to him from now on.
