He explained why he did what he did and even though our military can't teach our service members how to turn a camera sideways someone filmed it. I don't see anything that shows he did this for attention.
The fact that he put his name out there is enough evidence for Scruffy.

That doesn't mean that what he did wasn't awesome. Scruffy just disagrees with the idea of getting anything back for supposed "selfless" acts.

Don't real Christians think Jews are going to Hell under the law of John 3:16?

I don't think most people realize just how charitable Jewish people are. Family, God, Charity are ingrained into their culture.

Are you the one who's the gimp or are you the one who's like 5 ft tall?

Either would explain why you're such a bitter little twat.

good grief...maybe it wasn't 'perfectly' selfless and maybe it was, but he certainly doesn't need to be called out because he took a few minutes to explain why he did it and say thank you to the troops...

with so much crap in the world to complain or be critical of, choosing this to find fault in is just silly...if that's all you got to complain about, things are pretty good

the guy did a good thing, others could learn from it...end of story

Rechnitz reportedly spends half of his day overseeing the Shlomo & Tamar Rechnitz Charitable Foundation which distributes funds to over 1,100 institutions yearly. He is known in the Los Angeles area for opening his home every Saturday night to listen to the needy and to hand out charity.[7] Rechnitz donated $5 million to the Mir Yeshiva in November 2011 when the head of the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem, Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, died suddenly, leaving the institution with $15 million in debt. Rechnitz donated $5 million to support the yeshiva and encourage others to come to its aid. Soon after Rechnitz’s donation others followed suit and the debt was paid in full within three months.[1][8] In December 2011, Rechnitz purchased a creditor’s note against Chabad of California’s headquarters in Westwood for $2.35 million in order to help the organization avoid foreclosure[1] After Hurricane Sandy, Rechnitz gave $1 million to aid in the rebuilding of Orthodox Jewish day schools and to assist the families whose children attend those schools[1]

In 2012 Rechnitz heard about Diane Aulger, a mother of five in North Texas that had her labor induced few weeks early so that her husband could meet their daughter before he died from pulmonary fibrosis. Upon hearing the story, Rechnitz personally phoned Augler himself and sent her $20,000.[1][9] In the autumn of 2014 Shlomo pledged $2.5 million to the Lakewood Cheder School's building campaign, enabling the school to finish their new building and thus allowing the children to begin school on time.[10]

In June 2015, Rechnitz donated $250,000 to restore the Mount Zion Cemetery in East Los Angeles. Mount Zion, also known as the “orphan cemetery,” is the final resting place of many of the founders of the Los Angeles Jewish community, but has been neglected, and even vandalized, over the years.[11]



well this guy seems like a major "not a rich dick" kinda guy.

Scruffy isn't bitter, nor is he a twat. That's mean.

Uhhh...things are great and Scruffy ain't complaining. He is criticizing.

Can't let y'all be too happy. That would be unfair to the unhappy people out there.

Almost every Soldier who has returned from a deployment has landed in that airport. I've only been there twice, but I remember it being rather small with only one terminal and a few gates. That is a very kind gesture and I know all of the guys returning home appreciated it more than most people can imagine.

BTW, I had a real Irish beer brewed in Ireland at that bar on 11 Nov 05. Best beer I ever had.

We refueled there on the way to Bahrain, no way you pass up an opportunity to have a beer there.

This right here.
And I'm pretty sure that it would be pretty difficult to buy 400 meals at various restaurants in an airport without being noticed.
Also, the commander asked him to speak to the soldiers. Would you tell him no?
