Alec Baldwin Offers Young Soldier a College Education


When Alec Baldwin read a New York newspaper story about 18-year-old Private Resha Kane soon to be deployed to Iraq, he offered to pay for her college education when she is discharged.

Private Kane, a chemical operations specialist in the Army, was shocked when Alec Baldwin tracked her down in her Fort Hood, Texas and told her of his plan. Kane wants to be a biochemist and isn't sure what university she'll attend. It's certain, however, that with Baldwin footing the bill her decision will be a lot easier.

Some readers think this is a wonderful demonstration of generosity. Others just see it as a publicity stunt. What do you think?
