Scarlett met with nearly 600 service members at Camp Buehring, Kuwait during her five-day United Service Organizations (USO) tour to the Gulf region.

Hundreds of Marines and sailors from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit put on their best smiles as they waited anxiously to get a glimpse of the generous bombshell.

Lance Cpl. Nathan Long, a calibration technician said,

I’m a huge Scarlett fan. When I found out she was coming, I couldn’t believe it. All I thought about was that I needed to meet her.

As soon as the arrived, the cherry-lipped blonde wasted no time as she entered the USO; she quickly began introducing herself to all in the crowd.

Scarlett said,

It’s important to give people a piece of home and to boost morale. Everybody out here is risking everything, giving us one of the biggest gifts they can. I want to be out here to support them. It’s nice to give them a smile in the middle of the day. If they are missing home, feeling down or worried, hopefully being here will get their minds off of things.


Her friendliness and sincere interest in her fans quickly won them over.

Sgt. Brian Dryer,

I didn’t know what to expect or what she was going to be like. She seemed truly interested and wanted to spend time getting to know you.

After every fan got their autographs and photos, Johansson donned her sunglasses and stepped outside. She was off to another camp to greet the next group of eager fans.

In a parting message to the military members, the actress said, “Stay safe. Everybody is thinking of you and waiting for you at home.”

i am so, so glad that she did this. our troops deserve visits from celebrities that know how hard they’re working to keep us safe and to know they’re supported. and she’s a NY girl, too!

The government needs to end the war.

Scarlett is such a bimbo, but the two troops are cute.
