Val Kilmer, douchebag....

[KK52]

It would appear that Kilmer has fallen into the trap so common to the Hollywood elites. Namely, they think that because they earned big buckets of money because the can act (or sing or whatever), that the world actually cares what they think. They seem to forget that for the most part, they didn't write the script (or lyrics or whatever). And generally, most people actually do NOT care what they think, especially on political issues. There are, of course a few notable exceptions; but that's just the point. Those are exceptions and they are few.
How many Hollywood careers have you seen begin to wane after the actor/singer/whatever waxed political? Wasn't it Bruce Springsteen who went political on stage at a concert, and got booed and told to "shut up and sing"?
It's perfectably acceptable for the Hollywood elites to exercise their First Amendment rights. But then, the rest of the country can exercise the other half of the right, and decline to be a part of the audience.

Threads like this help me to understand how US magazine is popular.

Who really gives two shits what Val Kilmer or any other actor says?

The same scumbags who elected Slapbama!!!

actor "Charles Durning". He was Army Brat and served in WWII earning a silver star and purple heart (and if I remember right, I beleive he was a Ranger? Square me away if wrong guys).

Durning was a legit NW Europe combat vet who also landed on D-Day. I forget if he was in a combat engineer battalion all along or was an infantryman in the 1ID and wound up in the engineers after recovering from wounds. I might be crossing stories about Durning's record but he was certainly never in the Rangers.

There is some discussion on what unit Charles Durning served in.

It doesn't bother me at all what he or anybody says about Vietnam Veterans... I've learned to live with him and his ilk for more than 40 years.

Roger that Bill, and we appreciate what you have endured. Doesn't keep us from wanting to "throat punch" them however!

Good facts to throw at assholes like Val Kilmer.

Patrick Swayze and Farah Fawcett both showed courage when they lost their big fight, so maybe not all is lost in Hollywood.
