To be fair– not that you show any indication of wanting to be– Clooney toured with the USO after 9/11. But if not out of basic fariness, support for the troops demands that you give him credit where it’s due:
Newton said the dangers in Iraq, along with some stars’ disagreements with the Bush administration’s war policies, have limited celebrity volunteers for USO tours.
That wasn’t the case just after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when some of the biggest names in show business rallied to help the USO. Jennifer Lopez and hip-hop star Ja Rule joined rap-rocker Kid Rock for a concert at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, telecast on MTV, in December 2001. Other top celebrities visited troops that month in Turkey: Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon.
