Last week Tiger Woods returned to the links on a wave of rhapsodic applause and accolades. The Leviathan of Libidoville was treated like a returning war hero who had just slayed the enemy in a far off land. Manifestly--in today's pop culture--you can be a serial cheater, liar and lout and still be hailed as a god.
But while this raucous idol worship was taking place--a very significant event was unfolding: Our Marines were quietly preparing to fight the one battle (Kandahar) that very well may decide the fate of Afghanistan (and the overall War on Terror).
Perhaps it's time for our pop culture generation to finally grow up (put aside childish things) and start paying homage to those who serve--instead of to those who demand to be serviced.
