Well I think it is quite evident that Tiger is doing what he was put on this earth to do. We all have a calling - not all of us are called to be soldiers. That he shows respect for those following a different calling is good on him.
What I don’t understand is attacking the guy when he is trying to do something good for others, however large or small the gesture may be.
Attack is too harsh a word. When a celebrity says something stupid people are apt to comment on it.
"If I didn't get into that MBA program, I'd be a soldier"
"If I didn't pass my series 7, I'd be a soldier"
"If I didn't get into med school, I'd be a soldier."
Hear any lawyer, MBA, stock broker or doctor say this in a bar and you'd laugh and think, 'yeah, right...talk is cheap'.
Bigotry comes in all forms, even here of FR.......
