Don’t know much about her, but my opinion of her has just gone up.
I may not agree with her on much of anything, but all the props in the world to her for making the trip.
And let me add, "Thank You".

Don’t know how the troops feel about her but my ‘morale’ has started a big upward trend already and I’m not even there.
I will say, she does have some golden age Hollywood siren looks.
Thanks to our Marines and thanks to Scarlett.
Well, Hello ;)’
Frankly Scarlett, thanks for giving a damn!
Well at least she’s not supporting the “Beast”.

My wife has just informed me that there could be double meaning in that post , and worst of all, it makes me sound like "Bob" of Enzyte TV commercial fame:
My vote for the most obnoxious commercial on TV....and it's not the product that is a pain in the stern, it's "Bob".
* The whistling stuff in the background makes it even worse.
LOL! Good one!!!
Props indeed.
