American troops loved Robin Williams. With his performances, he made 6 USO tours to Iraq, Afghanistan, and 11 other countries.
After Robin Williams’ death, Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, said this about him: “From entertaining thousands of service men and women in war zones, to his philanthropy that helped veterans struggling with the hidden wounds of war, he was a loyal and compassionate advocate for all who serve this nation in uniform. He will be dearly missed by the men and women of DoD — so many of whom were personally touched by his humor and generosity.”

He took the cowards way out. He chose to leave the pain for others to deal with.
