Comme en toutes choses et dans tous les domaines aux USA aujourd’hui, les traditions de civisme de commande exig\u00e9 par le syst\u00e8me connaissent un d\u00e9clin dramatique. Le cas de Hollywood et du show-business<\/em> est r\u00e9v\u00e9lateur. Le climat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de d\u00e9senchantement, d’individualisme \u00e9go\u00efste, de corruption, etc., touche \u00e9galement un milieu qui avait toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s attentif \u00e0 son image patriotique de soutien aux soldats, au-del\u00e0 des engagements politiques. M\u00eame la guerre du Viet-n\u00e2m vit une activit\u00e9 USO importante malgr\u00e9 l’impopularit\u00e9 de la guerre.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe soutien traditionnel du show-business<\/em> aux soldats en guerre n’existe plus pour la guerre en Irak aujourd’hui. Au contraire, les attitudes constat\u00e9es \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard sont la r\u00e9serve, l’absence, la prudence, l’indiff\u00e9rence ou l’hostilit\u00e9. USO (United Services Organization), qui administre cette forme de th\u00e9\u00e2tre aux arm\u00e9es revu par les normes US depuis sa cr\u00e9ation en 1942, est en crise. En fait de c\u00e9l\u00e9brit\u00e9s, note The Guardian aujourd’hui<\/a>, \u00ab soldiers in Iraq are more likely to get a show from a Christian hip-hop group, a country singer you have probably never heard of and two cheerleaders for the Dallas Cowboys.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Just as the seemingly intractable nature of the war has led to a growing recruitment crisis, so the United Services Organisation, which has been putting on shows for the troops since the second world war, is struggling to get celebrities to sign up for even a short tour of duty.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb It is a far cry from the days following the September 11 2001 attacks, when some of the biggest names in show business, from Jennifer Lopez to Brad Pitt, rallied to the cause. After 9\/11 we couldn’t have had enough airplanes for the people who were volunteering to go, Wayne Newton, the Las Vegas crooner who succeeded Bob Hope as head of USO’s talent recruiting effort, told USA Today. Now with 9\/11 being as far removed as it is, the war being up one day and down the next, it becomes increasingly difficult to get people to go.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Newton said many celebrities have been wary of going because they think it might be seen that they are endorsing the war. And I say it’s not. I tell them these men and women are over there because our country sent them, and we have the absolute necessity to try to bring them as much happiness as we can. Fear is also a factor. They’re scared, country singer Craig Morton, who is in Iraq on the USO’s Hope and Freedom Tour 2005, told USA Today. It’s understandable. It’s not a safe and fun place and a lot of people don’t want to take the chance.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 24 d\u00e9cembre 2005 \u00e0 17H06<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comme en toutes choses et dans tous les domaines aux USA aujourd’hui, les traditions de civisme de commande exig\u00e9 par le syst\u00e8me connaissent un d\u00e9clin dramatique.
