“Everybody needs a good day in a war zone.” – Actor Gary Sinise
The U.S. media present a “completely opposite” view of what is really happening with American troops in Iraq, highlighting the negative and ignoring the positive, Emmy Award-winning actor Gary Sinise tells NewsMax.
With so many in Hollywood knocking American efforts in the Middle East, Sinise – star of TV’s “CSI: NY” – openly shows his support through actions as well as words.
Sinise has entertained troops in Iraq and is a co-founder – along with “Seabiscuit” author Laura Hillenbrand – of Operation Iraqi Children, a program that enables ordinary Americans to provide boys and girls in Iraq with school supply kits distributed by our men and women in uniform.
The actor, who played disabled Vietnam veteran Lieutenant Dan in “Forrest Gump,” is also a spokesman for the U.S. Disabled Veterans Life Memorial Foundation. He is also the co-founder of the Lt. Dan Band, a musical ensemble that entertains troops via USO tours. (Sinise plays a mean bass guitar.)
Sinise recently spoke exclusively with NewsMax’s James Hirsen, revealing what prompted him to get involved with American troops and veterans, how Iraqis really feel about the U.S. presence in Iraq – and more.
Read Hirsen’s entire interview with Sinise — it’s a pleasure to see someone with this high a Hollywood profile actually support the troops and unapologetically support his country’s efforts in Iraq. On Laura Ingram’s show this AM she quoted one of the military guys that she met in Iraq over the weekend. The gist of his comment to her was that if you are not supporting our mission, you are not supporting us! Sinise understands this in spades.
The Left is full of it when they proclaim that they are against the war, but still support the troops. Maybe you can be against a pending decision to go to war, but once our guys and gals are in conflict, there can be no other honorable position than to support them through to victory! (db)
