Why Mila Kunis should go out with Sgt Scott Moore, USMC

It's been really hot this week, and when it is, I  shut down. So it is, the only thing of interest to me is this little tidbit:

Marine Sgt. Scott Moore (3rd Battalion 2nd Marines in Musa Qala, Afghanistan) 
asks actress Mila Kunis to the Marine Corps Ball

First, I'll let you watch. After, I'll argue his case.



Now, a typical response amongst some of the older milbloggers is Who is Mila Kunis?  While many of us can untangle acronyms, tell you how to ship 25 pounds of bubbles to children to Afghanistan, or in the case of the Navy SEALS --find Bin Laden, many would not be able to discern Mila Kunis from any other hot military wife. Now that I've pointed out our communal shortcoming, most also have no idea who she is currently dating (except apparently, she broke up with MacCauley Culkin earlier this year). However, we have learned that Mila Kunis is in a film with Justin Timberlake.

Now most of us have heard of Mr. Timberlake, but we really don't know who he is either. We can tell you who Admiral Mike Mullen is, can also tell you that Sal Giunta was the first living Medal Of Honor recipient since Vietnam. Most can even recount in detail the circumstances under which he earned this medal. But the best I can remember about Mr. Timberlake is that he sings and also was singing at the Superbowl when Janet Jackson had a 'wardrobe malfunction.'  

But let's just imagine for the sake of hot summer nights and a bit of boredom, Ms. Kunis had her choice to go out with Sgt. Scott Moore or Justin Timberlake (I will not even argue a Culkin case).

No doubt, Mr. Timberlake could probably whisk her away on a jet to some very private island, and win her heart --if not just for the duration of the trip. There wouldn't be many surprises on the date, or even after the initial flirtation. She could be sure that everything would be first rate, and no expenses would be spared. The meals would always be great, the wine superb, there would be shopping excursions where you did more than just window shop, and there would be plenty of opportunities to wear wonderful clothing at red carpet events. A date with Mr. Timberlake would be reliably posh.

Gotta love the smooth move with the shades!

Now, let's look at the reasons she should go out with Sgt. Scott Moore.

He's a Marine.
