If you can't understand her sacrifice of enduring celebrity, she'd rather you just thank her for her service. #GwynethJessup

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is catching criticism and mockery for a quote that was recently published:
Gwyneth Paltrow compares online attacks to surviving war: It's a "bloody, dehumanizing thing" http://t.co/FZ5cAWUtCs

Did Paltrow really compare Hollywood celebs putting up with nasty online comments to surviving a war? You be the judge:
She also compared enduring the wrath of Internet commenters to surviving a war.
“You come across (online comments) about yourself and about your friends, and it’s a very dehumanizing thing,” the star said. “It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing … My hope is, as we get out of it, we’ll reach the next level of conscience.”
Among those who didn’t appreciate Paltrow’s comments was Cindy McCain, wife of Arizona Senator and former GOP presidential nominee John McCain:
Gweneth Paltrow is a joke. Her life is like taking bullets for a soldier. What a joke! My 2 sons serving in the military should talk to her.

Perhaps Gweneth Paltrow should go out on patrol with some soldiers. Kind of like a Red Carpet in her mind I guess!

Paltrow recently complained that working moms have it so much easier than rich actresses who work a few months a year, and she’s now elevated the stress of her “craft” to war-like levels.
@cindymccain @maggiepolitico It would be safe to say, she is consciously uncoupled from reality.

@cindymccain @maggiepolitico that's not what she said….

@DiscoPotential @cindymccain Are you an idiot? Whether it's hyperbole or not, she went there. Worst human on earth and it's not close

@cindymccain she may want to kindly say "thank you"to the armed forces that protect her and give her and Hollywood the freedom to be shallow
