Tobey Maguire Urges More Support for Troops
Hollywood actor Tobey Maguire is urging more support for troops when then return to the US from combat, according to Contact Music. The Spider-Man star played a Marine captain who struggles after returning from Afghanistan in a new movie Brothers whom he co-stars with Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal. Maguire told the LA Times:
“In the area of our veterans coming home with traumas or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or whatever, it’s one of those issues that isn’t pretty to look at.
We ask these people to fight for us and risk their lives, and certainly potentially alter their outlook of the world or how they react to things. I think it would be nice for us as a society to have some more awareness of what they go through, and to take on some more responsibility for the results of our asking them to go over there.”
I agree with him completely.
