If you're an actor who was, say, an infantryman in the Army at one time and you're playing the part of an infantryman, I would imagine you wouldn't have to really research the role as much. Plus you bring a lot of credibility to the part.
Sounds like you're describing Lee Marvin (except that Marvin was a Marine).
What bothers me more than his statement is the extremely low number of actors under the age of 60 who have served in the military.
Why? The US got rid of the draft 40 years ago. 40 + 18 = 58. Most people haven't been in the military. Sure, everyone signed up for WWII.
Personally I'm a proponent of the draft..........but I'm like one in a million.

The only guys who were totally unaffected by the draft are those (like me) who were born between March 16, 1957, and December 31, 1959, and never had to register for the draft. Guys born before then had to register for the Viet Nam-era draft, and those born after had to register when the draft registry was re-instated.
Most celebrities seem to me to be pretty screwed up. Their egos get bigger than their brains and dominate their lives. And, all of the fame and money is hard to handle for most humans.

I don't think he has that much of an ego or fame handling problem. He might be opinionated (who openly shares his/her opinions, isn't?) but I don't think he is stupid or being a hypocrite. If I am not mistaken, his mother is/was a teacher at a public school so he has been showing his support for his mom and public schools for a long time. I can totally understand his decision to put his kids in a private school after seeing laws like this one, pass for public school system in CA.
