Not all Hollywood stars are in the Michael Moore camp. Denzel Washington took time to visit some wounded troops back in the States for medical care a few months ago. Winds of Change and Random Probabilities are pleased to pass along an email and photos taken by a soldier who was there.
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

What in the hell is this supposed to mean? That Michael Moore doesn't support our troops?
Too bad that's a cheap lie. Did you even watch the movie? Did you catch the scene where he asks pro-war Congressmen if they'd signed up their children yet?
Michael Moore dislikes the leadership that's put our troops in Iraq for a casus belli that has turned out to be a fabrication.
Here's a good idea: do a little research before regurgitating Sean Hannity lies.

Disagreeing with Michael Moore is understandable. Defaming him by innuendo is cheap, stupid, and avoidable.
It means that my personal opinion is:
Michael Moore uses all his subjects for his own gain, not because he really "cares" about the issues or the well-being of the people in his films.
I thought that when he did Roger & Me - and I am the daughter and niece of several long-time UAW shop stewards, one of whom was on national negotiating teams for the union.
I think it about F911 too. Plus, he was crass enough to rip off Bradbury's title against the author's stated desires. Moore is, in my opinion, a crass opportunist and egoist. He's gotten 2 movie ticket incomes from me in the past, but he won't get another.
Stickler, why donīt you do a little research yourself?

Robin:
Thanks a million for that link; the photos truly made my day.
Glad you like them Gator.
Stickler, I should have added a more telling reason for my comment about Moore: The italicized line in the RP post about Moore and Hollywood is a direct quote from a soldier's email accompanying the photos. He seems to share my opinion about Moore's alleged support for himself and our other uniformed military.
When MM openly calls the head-lopping off terrorist "Minute Men" he's basically calling our troops the redcoats, i.e., the bad guys.
I was amazed by that one burn victim in the photos, hopefully we can advance medicine enough to help her.
