@btamanfromserbia-Piss off! Never direspect those who serve! Many people make great lives for themselves and their families through service in the military. My four years in the Navy was one the best decisions of my life.

It seems as if Cavill has this in him naturally, it's not just publicity. It does help everyone familiarize themselves with the new Superman!

@BatmanFromSerbia

Dude.. there's a lot of military personnel on this site (including me) and we don't think comments like that are funny.

holy crap. maybe this just annoys me, but...a person in the army is a soldier, a person in the air force is an airman, a person in the marines is a marine and a person in the navy is a seaman.

This guy is Superman through and through. I've been hearing how nice of a guy he is and I know it's really going to come through in his portrayal of Superman.

@batmanfromserbia Think about what you're saying before you say it. These are men and woman who sign up because they're willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their country.

That takes a lot of courage. These people are real heroes, show some respect.

@Everyone who has served or is currently enlisted in the military: Thank you. I wish I could be as brave as you guys. Thank you for keeping us safe.
