Does anyone have any experiences with the USO, that could tell me whether they are a good group to support? Most of the stuff they do -- cybercanteens, care packages, etc. -- seem good, but they also do entertainment tours with groups like the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. I can't imagine they're going to do more than just encourage lust, which I obviously don't want to support. What are your opinions?

Hon, it's not even starting to be about lust. I think you can ask any troop in a remote location to confirm that. It's about a little piece of home that they can cling to. It's about remembering who they are serving and why they are there. It's about a smile and a song at times when they feel so far away from everything they know and love.

God Bless the USO!

The USO is a great organization.
They bring entertainment to all parts of the world.

Just little shows to give the people in out of the way bases something to look forward too. The shows are tasteful and might have some burlesque(raunchy-comedy)
But for the most part they are just good entertainment for troops that have it rough.

I was stationed in a SMALL base in Araxos Greece. The shows were great.
It is a great cause. Bob Hope led this for so long and now Wayne Newton is the
leader. I went to his show in Greece.
