Anderson Cooper Continues To Support Hot, Sweaty Troops Abroad

Anderson Cooper continues to let it be known, in every possible medium and format, that he is willing to entertain America's brave, well-toned troops in troubled hotspots should his services as a tough-but-emotionally-nurturing (and sometimes giggling) CNN anchor be required. You'll recall Cooper's message of support in Outside magazine's May issue: "I don't understand why more artists don't go and entertain the troops... I saw this documentary on Marlene Dietrich, and during World War II she was going out, right to the front lines. I think she was having sex with a lot of the troops, too." Cooper must have gotten to thinking about Dietrich's personal sacrifices, because a Rush & Molloy tipster just spotted him "looking patriotic in a USO tee on an early flight from New Orleans to JFK last week." Your salute to the troops, like those before it, will surely not go unnoticed, Anderson. [Daily News]

There is a don't ask, don't tell policy among artists. Obviously.

See what the boys in the backroom will have, and tell them Coop's having the same.

Clearly, all that's deterring Coop from jetting over to relieve the hot, sweaty troops is the fact that the soulless zombie bears upset him.

Anderson Cooper will clean your gun AND give you a spit shine. No guys, really, it's no problem. He just wants to make sure you pass inspection. Just lay back and relax...

I think 'the troops' would prefer Marlene Dietrich, even in her present state, to AC.

@La Cieca: He may never go home anymore.

I, for one, can't imagine anything more thoroughly heterosexual than drawing inspiration from such a great beauty.
