You do realize that the name of the thread is "Celebrity Death Pool"? Now soldiers, all military in fact, are a lot of things, but rarely is celebrity one of them. If it is, it's usually a bad thing.
Yes, I realize what the title of this thread is. My mistake was not fully understanding the definition of 'celebrity'; I, also, thought the def included 'celebrated'. It does not define that way. My thinking was that the military should be celebrated. So, my mistake. However, I still feel our military brave do not get the recognition they deserve, as compared to 'celebrities'. Example, Mohammed Ali got more recognition at his death than General Harold Greene who died in Afghan. Anyway, celebs are around for our entertainment if we choose to watch them, and they do it for the fame and fortune. Also, I get tired of 'celebs' that mouth off about politics when they are not affected in any way, whatsoever.
I appreciate your input, and pointing out the flaw in my post, but I still feel the same way about 'celebrity'.
