AggieDave 6 #1 May 29, 2006 Anyone else watching (or did you watch this)? What are your thoughts? Do you feel like James did this for the troops, flimed it to raise awareness or just for more publicity and money? From most accounts James is a jackass, but watching this it seems like he was motivated primarily for the troops, made it a TV show to raise awareness and most likely to pay for trip/materials.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

n23x 0 #2 May 29, 2006 Just got done watching it. While it's next to impossible to say that someone has no financial (or otherwise) motives in what they do, this seemed pretty genuine. He has shown nothing but full support of troops as far as I've seen.

freethefly 6 #4 May 29, 2006 QuoteFrom most accounts James is a jackass Agree. Anyone who can take a classic 1970 SS El Camino and chop it up for some stupid show should get no respect. However, at a time when so many "celebrities" have distance themselves (who gives a fuck about celebrities anyways?) from Iraq at least he has the nads to still shoow support.

BIGUN 1,504 #5 May 29, 2006 Just got done watching it this morning. I think it started out less than altruistic, but you couldn't help but notice he got caught up in the troops and felt as though he failed them. When the Lt. Col. presented him with the flag and certificate, he appeared remorseful and humbled. In the past, he's blamed the team, this time he appeared to blame himself. Not something I can say I've ever seen out of him before.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
