The article looks at how celebrity Kathy Griffin visited the U.S. troops in Iraq and Kuwait. Griffin described the Al Faw Palace in Baghdad, Iraq as a gaudy version of the Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada. The article discusses Griffin's reactions to hugging the soldiers, being around so many male soldiers, the soldier's daily physical training, and Griffin's praise of the stamina of the women soldiers.
