Cher has donated more than $130,000 to the group Operation Helmet, which pays about $100 to modify the inside of soldiers' helmets to make them better able to absorb shock from a bomb blast.
Wow, who knew!!??
Good for her, I'm proud of her.

They're going to ostracize her in Hollyweird.
With a dull ostracizer.

Well done Cher - I saw you on CSPAN - this is obviously a cause that has touched her heart.
This is real - not a PR job.
Bravo -

Rep. Curt Weldon (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces, noted that Cher's ex-husband, the late Rep. Sonny Bono, had served on the subcommittee. He called it a "special irony and really great tribute" to have her there. Wonder what Sonny would say?

The lady is a wonk!
That was occasional C-SPAN caller Cher visiting the cable outlet's D.C. studios yesterday and appearing as a guest on "Washington Journal." The pop diva was on Capitol Hill hyping her program to get protective helmets to U.S. soldiers in Iraq. She confided that she's a news and political junkie, but insisted that she didn't receive any special treatment from C-SPAN to get her calls on the air - most recently on May 28. "I was just so lucky," Cher said. "I just kept dialing until my finger was just numb."

She's a moonbat but this is a nice gesture.

Now that is real "We Support the Troops!" Good for Cher and for the troops to see someone famous really supporting them!

I think this is a great project, and I applaud her effort to help our soldiers and Marines.
She also spends a lot of time visiting the wounded in military hospitals apparently, which seems to be how she found out about this issue to begin with.

Glenn Beck talked about this on his radio show. She called up the guy (he knows the guy that runs the Operation Helmet program), asked how many were on the waiting list, and then he received a check from Cher to pay for all those on the waiting list.

But she called into CSpan prior to that and went on a rant about Bush not giving the soldiers the equipment that they need....
So even though she is donating, etc., she is still an unhinged lib who thinks everything is Bush's Fault.
To: COUNTrecount
Damn. I came onto this thread to indulge in a bit of harmless Cher-baiting, and it turns out she's on our side! Another one of life's pleasures gone for ever :0)

Rumsfeld's retort, "You go to war with the army you have" was such an honest statement of fact, and the uproar shows some live in a dream world.
To: Tribune7
Wonder what Sonny would say?I think Sonny always had a soft spot in his heart for Cher.

You go, Babe! (Maybe Sonny would still be here if he had a padded ski helmet)

The Army now equips its soldiers with padded helmets designed to be shock absorbent. The Marine Corps has commissioned a study to determine whether to change its helmets but has said the ones Marines use now are effective.Get with the program USMC. The padded helmets are obviously better for the troops, both in comfort and safety.
