Which is more than what John Wayne did.
While you were in the military, what entertainer would you have preferred to see? Did that entertainer perform USO shows, or would you rather not have seen any entertainers?

When I was in the Korean DMZ, Bob Hope performed at my camp. It was on a day that was about 20 degrees and wind blowing bad, yet he put on his show. I was unable to go because I had to keep the airfield open for his 3 chinook helicopters. Everyone said it was great and I now wish I had gone.
