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.

I can see how Gracin's deferrment could ruffle some feathers, but geez, it's not we had to postpone the war because of it. I'm sure there are a lot of situations where people are held back for certain reasons.

"He is more valuable to the Corps on American Idol than he is in a LAV in Iraq, or else he'd be there." You're 100% right...and though one cannot truly know the heart of another man, he probably wishes he had been deployed.
I like your tagline, BRO.

We vote for Josh every week. He has a lot of talent and would be a great role model as the American Idol.
