CBS golf reporter David Feherty, an Irishman, last week returned from a USO tour of "forward operating bases" in Iraq feeling "I'd be so proud to be an American, if I was one."
Trying to hear "more than the official line," he was "stunned by the competence and intelligence of every single soldier we met. The smartest people America has are in Iraq."
And in a contingent including Tom Watson and Tom Lehman, the troops recognized Feherty — or at least his voice — because he does voiceovers on EA Sports' Tiger Woods video game.
"I was surprised by the attitude of the troopers. I would have thought they'd just want to get out of there. But the opposite is true. They all said they had a job to do. This war isn't the disaster I was under the impression it was. … I would hate to be at war with America."
Meaning he won't encourage his countrymen to, say, invade the East Coast? "We don't have to," he says. "We've infiltrated."
