Denzel Washington: ‘Movies Are Not Difficult. Send Your Son To Iraq. That's Difficult'

Finally the truth as a successful actor lays it on the line for the other Hollywood types. I, for one, am sick and tired of most actors, singers, comedians, sports stars, etc., telling us that the way they think is the only way it should be in all aspects of life, especially the Military. All the while they are hiding in their multi-million dollar homes, driving expensive cars, jetting around the world, etc. I didn't SEND my son to Iraq, my son volunteered. At 25years old, he joined the Army, went Infantry and did a tour in Afghanistan. Was it difficult for my wife and I? Sure it was, especially when he did his tour down range. I worried on a daily basis even though there was nothing I personally could do about it, but I understood my son's decision to serve (his friends were there and he felt he needed to join and help them). My wife and his wife were basket cases during his time in Afghanistan, yet their faith got them through.
