Christmas With The Troops

Filed under: Inspiration > Kid Rock

krxmas2.jpg img_0613.jpg img_0423.jpg

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

    Re: RUDY08!

    See this is my point! At first you thought that the war was all about weapons of mass destruction. Wrong! Then, to bring Saddam Hussein down (former friend of Bush) . Done! Now for the freedom for Americans???? The terrorists from 9/11 were from AFGHANISTAN not Iraq. And as a matter of fact, the war has invited more hate on the US around the world and therefore more of a reason for Muslims to target the US. So the situation has gotten worse. So there troops are there for no good reason. At this stage I feel like I'm more concearned about the troops being used as puppets than anyone.

    Re: champster

    A big reason as to why the US is wealthy is because they have been involved in wars in the past and sold weapons to other countries involved in vicious wars. Not all countries that don't support the US hate capitalism but yet there are some who just don't think that the poor struggling while the rich have money to burn is the right system. I think that there needs to be a system right in between as neither communism or capitalism works well. See, the problem is that there are many wealthy who work but also manywho just obtain welth through luck or stealing from the poor. I'm wealthy but work very hard and I have sympathy for the poor who work hard. Not all poor are poor because they're lazy.

    Re: IRAQI PEOPLE – Thanks for acting like idiots and beheading civilians and everything else you can get your hands on, all in the name of something that doesn't exist. Allah? What a fucking Joke. :P

    Re: Dar

    It's a misconception that Muslims are tought to hate other religion and races. As a matter of fact the Koran teaches that there are other religions and that other religions should be respected as there are more than one god and we are all children of god. Have you got any proof that Allah doesn't exist and that the god that westeners and others pray to does exist? Prove it :) Prove that your god is more real than Allah :)

    Yes, I spill the filth about peace on earth. I know, I know that makes me a total hippie (even though I don't look like one or live like one AT ALL). War is so hot right now and here Iam this outcast dork who ofcourse is only trying to see past the bullshit and propaganda in order to be different because I think that being different is so cool. I get so fired up for peace and run around like a lunatic as opposed to the peaceful Bush and war supporters. And ofcourse all Arabs are terrorists so it's okay to kill them all- even the children. Yes, you are very right. And you got me- this is in fact Hillary. Now watch the spelling: H-I-L-L-A-R-Y.

    Re: America is going to hell
    Technically, Allah, God, Judah are all the same God. It's monotheism which all extended from Zorastorism anyway. So, if you say Allah doesn't exist, then you are saying that all Christians and Jews don't have a God as well. I hate when people talk about religion like they know what's going on…

    As far as supporting the war- no one supports the freaking war, but you need to support the military. I'm tired of arguing with everyone about it. Whether you are a liberal or a conservative, American or Brit, get over yourselves and actually think of each other as humans. No, the war in Iraq was not executed properly; yes, I want my husband home. So, until you are in the middle of this war (and yes, military spouses are) quit your bitching about it. Whatever you believe to be true probably isn't. So shut up and drink your fucking mocha!

    134

    Absolutely LOVE Kid Rock! The persona the public sees is just an act. He's a kind, gentle family man that loves his country. His music, whether you like it or not, is extremely relevant today. He is the Rock 'n Roll Jesus! Thanks, Kid, for your time and service. Lord knows, all those young people overseas appreciated the hell out of your time! Roll on rollercoaster and Amen.

    135

    what a joke! Kid Rock??? Nice C list celeb.
    And to the woman who thinks people should get off of their lazy asses and do more for those in the service… um, didn't they sign up of their free will to go? Why the hell do they "deserve" more than anyone else? Get over yourself.

  38. Army Wife says – reply to this


    138

    Re: Tero

    The point we are making is that they deserve respect. Everyone does. But everyone gets caught up in themselves and they can't see that the military is necessary and that they do willing join to fight for the country, regardless if you believe in the wars or not. The beauty of America is that we have the choice to do things. We're not told at 18 that we have to join the military, we do it because we believe in the country, not the politics. This is why I have no desire to get into politics anymore. Everyone is too self-absorbed to care about the country itself.

  39. DE says – reply to this


    139

    Re: Tero – The troops "deserve" more consideration from others because they are fighting for your way of life. Of course they signed up for service, but it took a special courage of their convictions to their country and fellow Americans to sign up for a job that they knew was dangerous and potenially life threatening. Many who fight believe that the cost is worth it to continue to afford their families and even ungrateful fellow citizens like you the lifestyle we have here. …. so YES… they do DESERVE more respect and regard than the average person on our streets, they do a job not all of us would be willing or able to do. God Bless Kid Rock and the others on this tour who gave their personal time to provide some entertainment and smiles to our troops when they have to be so far away from their comforts of home.

    Your whole story is a contradiction.
    Also "we" shouldn't be supporting the troops with anything, it's the government's job, we pay enough.

    146

    Thank you Kid Rock and the others who were on the tour. Your contributions to the men and women of our Armed Forces are greatly appreciated.
    To the haters, you don't have to support the war to support our troops. THEY are doing their jobs and right now, the job they are being told to do is being in Iraq. Just like any other employee/employer relationship. And if they didn't go over there, they wouldn't be "just fired" and look for another job, they would be charged with desertion and end up in prison. Big decision. And yes, they had a choice when they enlisted; however, many of them chose to out of patriotism for their country. Didn't Saddam support Al Qaeda, who was BEHIND 9/11…not to mention that Saddam and his regime tortured the Iraqi people. What about the Iraqi soccer team who he had tortured and some of the members slaughtered because they lost a game…bet our football players for the NFL are glad that we are in America.
    To those who hate the USA, then get out of the country and if you don't live here, mind your business and pay attention to your own country, no country is perfect.
    As far as the "uneducated redneck" comments, well that's BS. Many of our soldiers are educated, some even with masters degrees. Why don't you "independent thinkers" try to go to college while living in the equivalent of a mobile home and worry about getting mortared on a daily basis and having your internet go out periodically and see how "easy" it is?

    Karyn: How educated are you? Anyone with any type of education can put together a paragraph.
    Here's some help, after a sentance, use a period, space twice, a comma, space once. Do you know how to use punctuation?
    Also you never start a sentance with the word And !!!
    I had to go back and reread what you were talking about, which seems to have gone over your head.
    Maybe you should consider getting your money back from the "school" you attended. I'm guessing it was not an Ivy League.

    Rock on, Kid Rock, for doing good by our troops who are out there for us, whether we agree with the policy or not, so we can bitch about not getting what we wanted for Xmas… How about not seeing your son for the first 15 months of his life? And Rock on, Perez, for giving props to celebrities like Kid when they come out to support the troops. I'm in the military and know folks at the USO–they have a really hard time getting celebs to come entertain the troops. Some are afraid to go, some don't want to be seen as supporting the policy so they say f*** the troops, some of the few that agree to go, actually get ask to get PAID for it, beyond the typical expenses. This isn't Bob Hope's Hollywood anymore. Kid, Gary Sinise and even Wayne Newton are huge, huge USO supporters, and thank God for them and for you, Perez! Oorah!

    You know you are at the bottom of the celebrity food chain when you have to go to the Middle East to entertain troops for publicity. Afterall, they get Wayne Newton, the WWE wrestlers, Jessica Simpson and Kid Crock. I'm not knocking them (except for Kid Rock who has NEVER had any talent) for going but these are all entertainers that have hit bottom and wouldn't be doing a whole hell of a lot in the States. I suppose at least they have to do something, might as well give the military the false hope that all is well (when it sure as hell isn't!).
