Alyssa Milano: "I went to Iraq on a USO tour [in 2003]. This was two months after the war was declared over. When we got on the ground, they started throwing us helmets and bulletproof vests. I'm wearing a little Prada shirt, you know. I wanted to look good for the boys. Basically, I was doing my service to the country. And so I put this vest on, which was about ten pounds, and this helmet, and I go over to Tommy Franks, General Franks? And I said, 'I have to be honest with you. I'm freaking out a little bit right now. I just need to know that we're going to be okay.' And he said, 'Little darlin?, I guarantee you this: We've got more bullets than they got assholes.' Not quite the answer I was looking for."
