After his trip, he sharply criticized the United Service Organizations (USO) for not sending more celebrities to the country. USO provided ThinkProgress with its letter responding to O’Reilly’s inaccurate charges, urging him to “set the record straight.”

    "Just through September of this year, we produced 37 overseas tours with 241 performances for 98,000 troops in 14 countries, 9 stateside tours, 15 celebrity education events for military dependents, and 48 celebrity visits to military hospitals. … For 2007, we expect to take approximately 19 celebrities to Afghanistan and more than 35 to Iraq.

    If you really want to support America’s service men and women and their families, please set the record straight (both on your show and with the AP) on the work the USO is doing right now on behalf of the nation’s troops and encourage your viewers to support the USO."
