To Miss Paltrow,
I’d first like to start out by saying how terrible I feel for you and all your friends that on a daily basis have to endure mean words written by people you don’t know. I can only imagine the difficulty of waking up in a 12,000 square foot Hollywood home and having your assistant retrieve your iPhone, only to see that the battery is low and someone on twitter (the social media concept that you and all of your friends contribute to on an hourly basis to feed your ego and narcissistic ways), has written a mean word or 2 about you. You’ve hit the nail on the head, war is exactly like that. You should receive a medal for the burden you have carried on your shoulders due to these meanies on social media.
You said, “Its almost like, how in war, you go through this bloody dehumanizing thing and then something is defined out of it.” I could see how you, and others like you in “the biz”, could be so insecure and mentally weak that you could pair the difficulty of your life on twitter to my brothers who have had their limbs ripped off and seen their friends shot, blown up, burned and disfigured, or wake up every morning in pain – while just starting the day is a challenge. How about our wives? The ones that sign on to be there for us through thick and thin, that help us to shake the hardships of war upon our return? And do all this while being mothers to our kids, keeping bills in order because we are always gone, and keeping our lives glued together. They do all this, by the way, without a team of accountants, nanny’s, personal assistants, and life coaches. Yeah, reading a mean tweet is just like all that.
You know what is really “dehumanizing”, Miss Paltrow? The fact that you’d even consider that your life as an “A-list” celebrity reading internet comments could even compare to war and what is endured on the battlefield. You and the other “A-listers” that think like you are laughable. You all have actually convinced yourselves that you in some way face difficulty on a regular basis. Let me be the first to burst your bubble: a long line at Starbucks, your driver being 3 minutes late, a scuff mark on your $1200 shoes and a mean tweet do not constitute difficulty in the eyes of a soldier.
Understand me when I say this: war does not define me. It is a chapter in my life that helped shaped me. Being a husband and father is what defines me. Remember, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never…be close to what war is.

Well, that about sums it up, doesn't it? I think she'll be very irritated when she reads that he thinks her shoes only cost $1,200 dollars. That's like calling her a peasant.

Stay strong Gwynnie, don't let those Taliban-like assholes get you down girl.
She IS a peasant.
Is there some way we can guarantee she sees this?
She's such a cunt.

I've often seen shoes advertised in the paper for $5000. and up. You are right, DD, the soldier put out a cheapie price on shoes. His letter couldn't be much better. But she is so damned clueless she'll never see it.
Bryan has his head screwed on straight. Goop is an asshole and if she doesn't regrete her remarks by now, then there is really nothing to be said for her. She should take her boney ass and go away.
And Sargent Bryan Sikess, you are one fine specimen of American soldier!
I think she will see it. She has assistants, an army of them, they will alert her and she will issue some crap statement. Bethca. Goop IS an asshole and everyone knows it, even her. She just fools herself constantly. It's a hole she's dug and she can't get out of.
Her Keds cost more than that! Cuz she's so special. Green Beret is right on target. Good for him.
True. I said it sarcastically, but, the prices are right on her blog. Ridic INFLATED prices for plain old crap. I wonder sometimes if she even has a clue about real life shopping. I'd like to turn her loose in a Target and film it. Remember when Paris Hilton thought WalMart was stuff for walls? Then she got into it.
As the mother of two Marines all I can say is "Thank You"!
