I've spent enough time with soldiers to know that once they get to know you and they loosen up and become themselves, they are some of the biggest hams and most charismatic, cocky, fun, humorous guys I've ever met.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I sort of became infatuated with soldiers. I got to know some of them and got a little perturbed with Hollywood making a spectacle out of them and making them look like they have screwed up somehow.
While shooting 'The Unit', I went to the Middle East twice to see the troops. I met some great men and women.
I do a lot of stuff with Wounded Warriors and the Armed Forces Foundation; if you want to get these guys to stop talking, start complimenting!
I don't think I have been loved by my troops, but I think I have been respected.
I always give much attention to military character and to psychological and morale conditions.
Every lover is a soldier.
I like the enemy knowing there are a few guys like me around.
I met a lot of women in the military with Meg Ryan, and they were remarkably impressive: Competent and strong and not versions of men, but versions of women. And they had stories to tell about how difficult it had been for them.
A true woman always loves a real soldier.
I have the most utmost respect for the men and women overseas, and I only played a soldier on television. Again, I can only imagine the sacrifices that they make every single day.
