Americans are seeing the real Marines performing their real jobs The author is an idiot. Gracin is a larger than life, full color recruiting ad for the USMC, a talented contender on a top rated TV show.
Everybody has a job to do - Gracin will probably encourage several truckloads of jaded High Schoolers to head to the recruiting station.
He is more valuable to the Corps on American Idol than he is in a LAV in Iraq, or else he'd be there.

This loathing of the military sure runs deep in some folks.

Geez... Did the Marine kill this columnist's dog or something like that? I haven't read such a vicious hit piece in a long time. What a petty, hateful person.

People can think what they want about Gracin and opine about whether they think he's right or wrong. However, back in 1990 there was a Marine Captain by the name of Chase Moseley who had a pretty cushy job flying Blue Angel #2. He could have stayed and finished the season but he requested to be released and returned to his Marine Corps F/A-18 squadron which was deploying to the Persian Gulf during Desert Shield.

Does this pos writer have anything better to do than sound off against a young man who is doing more for the Marines Stateside than he could in Kuwait. This really is a war, isn't it? I don't mean Iraq, I mean between the camps here.

This article had nothing to do with Gracin. It had everything to do with the Academy Awards. It seems obvious that this person is infuriated at the reactions to the A.A. and wants to compare American Idol to that cesspool. She also wants to compare Gracin to that loudmouth Michael Moore.
Josh Gracin seems to be a nice, young, singer doing his best. He is probably giving the military a boost in recruiting - that may be his best job. He also seems to be potentially great C&W singer.
This woman just had an ax to grind and Josh was her way.
Consider the source and move on.

Would the situation with Gracin parallel that of WWII when many actors were deployed in Hollywood helping with pro-war communications, film shorts, etc.? Various people are given different assignments.

Josh Gracin is doing his job. Undoubtedly he is under orders to stay on American Idol and make the marines proud. If the marines thought he could be of any more assistance to them in the field than he is on American Idol he would be in the field. Right now he is the best recruitment tool they have. It would be insane to pull him off right now. Just like the author of this article.
