Craig Morgan, Mark Wills and Keni Thomas traveled to the Persian Gulf last month as part of the USO Hope and Freedom Tour 2005. Other participants include Al Franken, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and the U.S. Army Band. Former soldier and staunch supporter of the war in Iraq, Craig Morgan, and anti-war radio talk show host/comedian, Al Franken, ended up on tour together in December playing for America's fighting men and women in Iraq.

And according to the Tennessean, the two differed greatly on their opinions about the war and the current administration. But when it came to what their mission was in Iraq, they both had the same noble objective, simply to support and entertain our soldiers.

"He has a passion for the soldiers unlike anyone I've ever seen. He made sacrifices for those soldiers and he loves them and supports them. He puts aside his politics for the trip."

Craig says he's going to go on Al's nationally syndicated radio show to argue with him — as soon as Craig's done reading one or two of Al's books.
