Christmas With The Troops

Filed under: Inspiration > Kid Rock

We think they would have preferred Pamela Anderson in a bikini stripping to one of his songs, but this isn't that bad.

For the second year in a row, Kid Rock spent the holidays with the soldiers overseas.

On a massive U.S.O. tour, the rocker did 13 shows in 7 diffrent countries in 5 days.

Kinda awesome.

Rock on and our thoughts and warm wishes to everyone away from their loved ones this Christmas.

Perez loves you!

xoxo

      Kid Rock is awesome, whether you love or hate his music, after the first year - celebrities quit coming around because there was nothing to gain. With a hubby over there, who hasn't gotten to see anything, it's sad that these stars came when there were cameras.

      This isn't Kid's second trip either, he's come over WITHOUT the cameras.

      At least there's someone out there willing to bring holiday spirit to our boys, who can't be home.

      THANK YOU KID ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

      for him to even go there and just say hi is amazing

      Re: Blah

      You need to check your facts. My husband is a college-educated man who is in Iraq. He voluntarily joined the Army because he believes in this country, not the leaders. No one agrees with the war in Iraq, but the least your sorry ass can do is support the troops. They put their lives on the line so your whiny, pussy-ass doesn't have to. You should be on your knees praying to God that we live in a country where we are not forced to be in the military when we turn 18. Merry Christmas to you, jackass. I'm sure your Mommy and Daddy got you everything you asked for. All I wanted was to see my husband, but I'm a stronger, smarter person than you'll ever be. And so is every soldier, marine, seaman and airman serving this country, regardless of education.

      Looks like everyone got their panties in a bunch over Lil' Kid and rednecks. Maybe everyone should start protesting Global Warming instead of bitchin' about a war that the government has been planning since the Johnson Administration. Just remember everyone your only as safe as you think you are. We could be the ones next having someone else's beliefs force fed down our throats. Just pretend it's all okay and go out and buy yourself that Toby Keith album already.

      It is so sad that Perez putting up a blg about Kid Rock doing a wonderful thing for our troops and it gets stupid comments from peple who have no idea what it is like to have a loved one over there. My husband is currently serving in Iraq and is probably one of the soldiers in that crowd in those pictures. When celebs show up to preform or talk to them, It makes thier day, it helps them get from one day to another and know that others still care about them, outside thier families. I thank Kid Rock and all the others that go to Iraq and preform for our men and women, as it puts a smile on thier face even if it is for just a couple of hours. Everyone needs to reliaze that you may not agree with this war, but you need to believe in our trops as they joined to because they believe in what the Military stands for, above and beyond what the President tells them. They are over there fighting to keep the innocent there safe and all of us back here safe also. the news media does not alway report the wonderful things we are doing there, and we are helping to improve life so don't judge what our troops are doing until you have been in thier shoes. Thanks again to Kid Rock and the rest of the USO you help to make things bearable for my husband and the other troops over there.

YOU are the one who believes all the propaganda the media puts out. You say "Well, if you actually ask any Iraqi person they will tell you the opposite" - I'd love to know how you surveyed ALL of them in such a short time since this article was posted, your Arabic must be impressive!!

      Once again, an ignorant so-called "American" who knows nothing about the real world other than what others tell him. Sad, very sad.

      Re: Youareanidiot!

      I'm not actually American. Although I have live there before it's not where I wanted to continue living. This aside, I have read many articles before where it would seem like the Iraqi people are everything but impressed with what the Americans are doing. Furthermore: I've heard quite a number of times of American soldiers themselves- who have been in Iraq- cursing the war. I have read their blogs. Actually, some of them have myspace accounts and you can read what they have to say there. Also, what you hear in the main stream media has been filtered. You hardly hear about soldiers raping Iraqi girls there. CBS and other world media do cover these and you can read about this there. You certainly won't hear the truth on Fox news.

      As a Navy wife who spent Christmas without her husband, I just want to say thank you to all of you who appreciate what our loved ones are doing to protect our freedoms. And to those who don't agree, I'm not going to stoop down to your level and bash you like you are bashing my husband and the rest of our brave military men and women, but let me just remind you that it is the men and women of our military who have fought to give you the right to say all the awful things you are saying about them, so maybe you should think about that in the future before you make all your snide and ignorant comments.

      Re: America is going to hell

      The propaganda you refer to is actually fact. Everything that you have cited points to random occurences. Of coruse it is not acceptable if even one soldier rapes an Iraqi woman, but these are again isolated instances. America has the most professional and disciplined army in the world. They show our enemies more courtesy than you show other Americans. Life is not great now, but it was certainly worse under Sadam's rule. His sons raped women wontonly EVERY day. Valium was never available in Iraq becuase Sadam traded oil for cash through Bill Clinton pardonee Mark Rich in Switzerland instead of giving his people food and medicine. Our soldiers do not target innocent civilians. All of our enemies in Iraq are plain-clothed terrorists so to say that the soldiers target civilians is unfair. You are misinformed and you suffer from Bush derangement sindrome. My guess is that your hippie parents never made you study and let you sit around and smoke pot and go to protests all day. Now that you have no job and are poor you are mad at Bush becuase he doesn't give you handouts. Maybe you should get off your lazy butt and get a job and join the real world.

      Re: champster

      I am not poor, my parents are not hippies and I am a university student. So I guess that you were right about me having no job. At university they teach you how to think for yourself and not just to follow what the mainstream media tells you or what your president tries to tell you. And if you actually listen to what people have to say about the war around the world you will find that you are in the minority in supporting the war. Think about it: how many countries support the US in their decision to go to war? England, Australia and then about 18 other small countries which have very little influence in this world like Poland. There about 130 countries in this world. So the minority is right? And again, I can guarantee that I'm not a hippie. Please never assume that you can judge someone just based on one opinion. I wear Gucci sunglasses. No hippie wears gucci sunglasses or drives a convertible.

      Re: champster

      Ha ha! You don't even know how wrong you are. I'm not a bum. I come from a hardworking wealthy family and I'm currently studying to be a part of the family business. Yes, you might be very shocked to know that there are some young wealthy blondes who actually are educated and care about what happens in this world. And you might actually be very very shocked to learn that people can have a great life outside of the US. So many Americans think that everywhere that is not America is a third world country when in fact I'm better off than many Americans. And I have no problem with the wealthy sharing money with the poor. I live a good life so I have no problem with sharing tax money with the less fortunate because I'm not selfish. In America, 1% of the richest owns 35% of the total wealth. Now I'm wealthy but even I don't think that's right. So the rich have money to burn while to poor suffer to keep the rich wealthy. And I agree with you- it's a good thing I'm no longer living in the US. I'm very happy where I am and where they have proper health care!

      Thats the fucking problem you precious princess.. you have all the pride in the world, but you can't be proud of the ones who are risking there lives.. and NO not risking for there lives for oil, or any bullshit excuse i've heard. thats why we have no draft. because soo many people see the need to fight againist terriorism when needed the most. but i really hope, angel. that while your walking around the mall, spending daddys money.. that one of those "iraqi people that were hurting.." dont decide to blow themselves up.. with you right next to them. because is 9/11 really is no wake up call for americans, what is? please. think. think with the little head of yours that "got into" your huge college. put your protest sign down.. and for once think. read. and understand facts, over "Peace and Love".

      Re: America is going to hell

      You give too much credence to professors who dropped acid in the 60's. There is no problem with independent thought, but you are not thinking independantly. You are taking the criticizms of America that are waged by the far left and regurgitating them. China, Russia, and France opposed the war becuase they had strong business ties to Iraq. Many other countries opposed the war becuase they do not like America. They don't like that America is free and wealthy. Giving credence to the opinions of other countries discredits your emphasis on "independant thought". You have to realize, most people who hate America hate us becuase they hate capitalism. They would rather live in a failing economy and do nothing that to work hard and succeed. Based on your comments, you are hard-working but do not beleive that others should be as well. You believe that the government should be responsible for people's lack of work ethic or inability to sieze opportunities. In the country you live, there may be few opportunities, but America is replete with opportunities for those who work hard.

      Hopefully Kid Rock stays in Iraq; we sure the hell don't want him here.

      Re: Blah – "Blah", you must be the most ungrateful, selfish and heartless person ever. Our troops sacrifice everything for a greater good, what are you doing??? Sitting your ass on PH.com and insulting the bravest men and women in the country, that's what. When you get up and do HUGE things to help other people without asking for anything in return, then maybe you can justify your hateful comments, but until then please SHUT UP. I have never posted a comment on here before but I couldn't let this go. My husband is out there fighting instead of being home with his wife or son, and it's so nice to hear him be called an uneducated redneck on Christmas. Thank you!
