Denzel Washington visits Brooks Army Medical Center 2004
Source One Person Can Make a Difference
An email is being circulated, and is still going around, that Denzel Washington visited injured troops at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX, in December 2004.
He and his family did visit BAMC at that time. However, the email contains rumors about a charitable donation Mr. Washington made and some contain rumors that his son was in the military.
Denzel Washington and his family toured BAMC and one of the Fisher Houses, visited with troops hospitalized at BAMC, and took part in a Purple Heart ceremony for 3 Army soldiers wounded in Iraq. Mr. Washington made a sizable donation to the Fisher House Foundation after his visit. He did not take out his check book and write a check for the entire amount on the spot.
Fisher House President David Coker said in a later interview that Mr. Washington doesn’t generally carry his check book with him. His eldest son was not in the military at that time. He was a senior at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA.
The question I have is why do:
Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn, and
other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America trash and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio.

Because the wars are opposed by the majority of the population, and people can see through a "pro-troops" publicity stunt.
The best pro-troops position is to get them back home and out of the way of danger.

Sometimes DTM, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your posts.
As to the OP.
The war in Iraq is wrong therefore if Denzel Washington is supporting it, he is also wrong
