Yep. Next time he calls and wants to play pretend Soldier they just say, nah we busy.
Exactly.

Yeah. But they shouldn't whine that he didn't either.
I don't know if I would call it whining - they're telling the story and shaking their heads. I don't blame them. That he wouldn't pick up that check shows his total lack of awareness of the real world.
Similar story about Beckham when he joined the LA Galaxy and was making like 100x his teammates
Sorry but I don't think a grown ass man going out for dinner with other grown ass men should complain that another grown ass man didn't pick up the check unless there was an understood reciprocity from a prior meal.
Given that the article makes it appear that Tiger was using their equipment and shooting their ammunition without really paying for it, buying him dinner is the least he could do. If i'm remembering it correctly of course.
"using their ammunition?" lol
IMost of Thompson's article was very 'blah' to me. Including the quote from the Marine bitching (in insane fashion) about Tiger not picking up his dinner tab was amateur hour.
There's no question it was absurd of Tiger - the point is that he's not a Michael Jordan style cheapskate asshole. He's just introverted and is routinely oblivious to how people think and act. He has no idea how he's perceived.

How does any famous person annoy actual military people by taking up their time? Pretty common really. Also pretty common for it to piss off actual soldiers, but it's the price of having a volunteer fighting force.
Were they ordered to spend time with him? Did they volunteer to spend time with him?
