Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton was commander of all U.S. Army infantry training at Fort Benning, GA when he was told to report to Bagdad to train a new Iraqi army—8 days after "mission accomplished' was declared. His job was eventually expanded to include all of Iraq's security forces, including the police. He maintained this post till '04 and retired in '06, after a 33-year military career. Eaton was one of the first to call for Defense Secretary Rumfeld's resignation and now appears in TV spots for votevets.org.

Actress Elisabeth Shue shed her girl-next-door image—earning Oscar and Golden Globe nods and a spot on Hollywood's 'A' list—with her performance in Leaving Las Vegas. She inadvertently began her show business career appearing in commercials, as a way of making extra money in high school, and made her professional acting debut in the TV series, Call to Glory. Shue's credits include the telepic, Amy and Isabelle, Birth and After Birth on stage, and the new film based on her life, Gracie.
