The pop
singers-turned-reality TV couple travelled to the war-torn nation to
visit US troops as part of a recent ABC TV variety special, and they
were both left shellshocked by what they saw.
But all the controversial moments and harrowing footage of the trip didn't appear in the fun-filled TV show.
Simpson says, "It was unbelievable. They didn't show a lot of what
really went on with the enemy attacks and the shelling. There was so
much stuff that went on and somehow the tapes got mysteriously
misplaced.
"It put everything in perspective for me. It really did teach me
the definition of sacrifice. I can't even fathom being out there right
now. I was ready to come home."
