Kanye West claims he's risking his life like a 'police officer or a soldier in war' because he could slip while dancing onstage.
‘And if I slipped… You never know. And I think about it.’
Adding: ‘I think about my family and I’m like, wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.’
Gentlemen, ladies, please! We are all being way too hard on Mr. Kanye West.
Who among us hasn't had the almost daily fear of slipping and falling while on stage?
Unlike us, Mr. West doesn't have body armor, helmet, or medevac and well trained medical personnel standing by to help him in case he falls down or becomes tired from dancing and singing. He doesn't have a dedicated military spouse to look after him as we do. He doesn't even get hazardous duty pay.
We shouldn't mock him. Instead, we should help him by allowing him to switch places with somebody in the military so he can at least get the many benefits we have for such hazards!
Is there any 11Bs out there in a line unit that can sing and dance, and that are currently assigned in Afghanistan, that could trade places with Mr. West for a few months? He really needs this break, and just once would like to have the benefits we enjoy for all his hard work. It will be a sacrifice, but you'll be doing it for your country!
Sir I was thinking more of Special Forces, Barry Sadler sang on stage and he didn't fall.
