Is he an American citizen? He was very smart to wait until he made a nice profit before he publicized his doubts about Bush. I stand by my original comment that has been mischaracterized. LOL MEL GIBSON GOT HIS PAYDAY.

He was born here and raised in Australia "Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born January 3rd, 1956 to parents Hutton and Ann Gibson. While many may think that Gibson is originally Australian, he was in fact born in Peekskill, N.Y."
"The sixth of eleven children, a young Mel relocated to Sydney, Australia (Ann Gibson's place of birth) after his father, a railroad brakeman, suffered an on-the-job injury. Their move down under was also to avoid the elder Gibson boys from being drafted in the Vietnam war."
from AskMen.Com
He has a family histoy of being flakey on the military.
What they did was no different than lefties fleeing to Canada during Vietnam. They gave up their citizenship rather than do their duty.
Yes, I know Mel was only 12 and didn't have much choice, but he hasn't disavowed it either.
