Support your UNITED Kingdom Troops by having a concert in aid of UK troops on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq (similar to the magnificent Live Aid concert many years before today's technological advances...), and from the money raised, purchase such neccessary equipment such as portacabins for troops to sleep in instead of tents, along with other desperately needed equipment - including more troops on the ground?
Whilst the troops do appreciate concerts put on for them there in a conflict zone, the costs that would be saved from having extra security and transportation laid on for these celebrities could be donated, or given in logistical help or desperately needed equipment in such a war zone.
Instead of the celebrities going into a conflict zone and tying up numerous troops on the ground by them having to protect the celebrities, the money saved could purchase a purpose-built dutch-barn gymnasium structure which could then be constructed by Army engineers there in Afghanistan, which could be used as a venue for to watch a celebrity concert live on a huge screen in a link-up.. - similar to Live Aid which was produced long beofre today's modern technology and was a huge success!
The gym could also be used as a cinema, 10-pin bowling and other entertainments including video-conferences, laid on there for the benefit of the under-manned and under-resourced UK troops on the ground in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, back in the UK, a similar studio type building could be constructed which could also be used for training recruits and giving them a flavour or experience of reality of a conflict zone by having the actual troops on the ground demonstrating from the dutch-barn making full use of todays' technology.

VIP's could also make use of the facility thereby saving a POT of money that could purchase.. oh some medical equipment/machinery, or quite a few more troops on the ground - where they are NEEDED. etc.. Just a logical after thought !
