Do we really need more actors in politics??? Good grief! What a moron! Reagan was enough....
I guess the people of New Mexico feel that they have to catch up to California, which already boasts (if that's the right word) Reagan and Schwarzenegger on their list of governors.
Arnold, of course, has the additional advantage of having been a bodybuilder as well as an actor. That's probably why Kilmer has to try running for governor in New Mexico; he knows he can't possibly compete with Schwarzenegger!
I just hope this doesn't become a trend. Unless it results in politicians leaving office to make movies.
Well, for "poor" guys the military still offers a way out.... During the draft you could get a deferment if you were in college or married (D Cheney famously got five). I think college graduates were automatically enrolled in the officer program. And a lot fewer people went to college in the 60s-early 70s than go now.
Do You Agree With Actor Val Kilmer About Most Vietnam Vets?"I understand it more. It’s an actor’s job. A guy who’s lived through the horror of Vietnam has not spent his life preparing his mind for it. He’s some punk. Most guys were borderline criminal or poor, and that’s why they got sent to Vietnam. It was all the poor, wretched kids who got beat up by their dads, guys who didn’t get on the football team, couldn’t finagle a scholarship. They didn’t have the emotional equipment to handle that experience. But this is what an actor trains to do. I can more effectively represent that kid in Vietnam than a guy who was there."
I do not agree, and if my father was alive, he would probably kick val kilmars teeth in for saying that.
I also work with quite a few vietnam vets and they make in excess of 60k a year.
I am so astonished on how conservatives always want to punish someone for executing their rights. Especially those of you that took the oath to protect those rights. You are the ones that protect it,except that even though you disagree with his points he is not being unpatriotic.

if he wants to say that some are that way then fine. but to classify a whole group of people when he does not know the 1st darn thing about it.
he has his say alright, but keep the classification out of it.
