Friday Eye Candy: The Sexy Soldier Edition

I’m posting this early because I am heading out for a weekend of Fourth of July fun at the beach.  I hope you don’t mind.  Somehow I hardly think you will.  Beautiful men showing up early….aahhhh, what more can a girl ask for?

Since I missed the opportunity on Memorial weekend, I thought it was my patriotic duty to pay tribute to the sexiest soldiers to ever grace the screen.

Here is my list of the Top 10 Sexiest Soldiers As Seen in Movies and on TV

(because we all know that the actual soldiers that defend or have defended our freedom are the sexiest soldiers of them all):

Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentlemen

sexy-soldiers-gere

Jesse Bradford and Ryan Phillippe in Flags of Our Fathers

sexy-soldiers-jesse-bradford

sexy-soldiers-ryan-philippe

Josh Hartnett in Black Hawk Down

sexy-soldiers-hartnett

Heath Ledger and Mel Gibson in The Patriot

sexy-soldiers-ledger-gibson

Denzel Washington in Glory

sexy-soldier-denzel

Channing Tatum in Stop Loss

sexy-soldiers-channing

Tom Cruise in Top Gun

sexy-soldiers-tom-cruise

Ron Livingston in Band of Brothers

sexy-soldiers-ron-livingston

And because it was so hard to stop at just ten, here are some honorable mentions:

Charlie Sheen in Platoon

sexy-soldiers-charlie-sheen

James Marsden in The Notebook

sexy-soldiers-marsden

Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan

sexy-soldiers-matt-damon

Who is your favorite sexy soldier from the list above?

Did I leave anyone out that should be included in the list?

Other than sexy soldiers, what is your favorite thing about the 4th of July (if you are American)?

Head over to An Island Life blog for more Aloha Friday fun.


A Favor:

I just found out that my blog was nominated for a BlogLuxe Award for Best Eye Candy.  While I know that I have no chance of winning, I would really appreciate if you could go over to the site and vote for me if you have a minute.   Just click the button and then go to the Best Eye Candy category to vote.  You can vote once per day.

(The funny part of the whole thing is that I have been over to the site a few times to vote for Beth and I had no idea that I was nominated.  It would have been nice if someone let you know.  LOL!)

    Three way tie between Josh Hartnett, Heath Ledger and James Marsden. Good picks – made it hard to choose! :) Perhaps it’s just that man in uniform thing…pretty hard to resist.

    I forgot Heath Ledger was in The Patriot I need to watch that again.

    Talk about giving yourself an impossible task my dear. Could easily have been a top 50 list right?

    I have to confess Matthew McConaughey in U571 got my pulse racing.

    I think with all the differences of opinion, politics, teams that we root for and so much more, on the 4th of July we are all untied as Americans.

    I’m torn between Marsden and Hartnett right now with many other names wanting to jump in, but I’ll stick to those two. :P Great list!

    My favorite thing about the 4th of July is probably my favorite thing about every holiday – the FOOD! :P

    Going to vote for you now… :)

    Jen!!!

    u totally forgot Ryan!!! as a soldier in the notebook!! when Noah & Finn were chasing Rommel (thats what he says in the movie) so now Im searching a pic of it!

    and know that I dot dislike James Marsden anymore… he does look great as Lon!
    Tom was pretty sth too, the fact that he is nuts now is shadowing his looks.
    Thanks for Heath in the patriot!
