The Realists Take

In the movie of life, Disney is casting military service members in a blockbuster role where the uniform switches from camouflage to character costumes. This is not your typical ‘Operation Disneyland’. Now, they won’t be battling enemies, but a menacing horde of over-stimulated toddlers fueled by cotton candy and the promise of a Mickey Mouse sighting. In between marching and salute, our brave soldiers may now sport Goofy hats and Cinderella gowns. Turns out, the front line of smiles at the happiest place on Earth is painted not only with pixie dust but also with a touch of patriotism. Here’s to Disney, creating a ‘happily ever after’ one military salute at a time!
