Bringing up the rear! Kim Kardashian boosts morale with weapons of mass distraction aboard US aircraft carrier in Abu Dhabi

Kim Kardashian secured her pin-up status with a trip to raise morale among the armed forces this Thanksgiving. The reality star showcased her charitable side as she toured the USS San Diego stationed in Abu Dhabi on November 24 -
surprising delighted soldiers and staff. Kardashian is the latest star to carry out the morale-boosting tradition of a celebrity visit to stationed troops and follows in a prestigious line of well-wishers from Marilyn Monroe to Elizabeth Taylor and the unrivalled Bob Hope. The star posed for photos alongside delighted servicemen wearing a tailored pair of nude trousers topped with a khaki cropped shirt. The 34-year-old, who travelled from nearby Dubai for the visit, described the pre-Thanksgiving visit as 'amazing'.

Scores of servicemen and women flocked to the carrier deck to witness the star and pose alongside her and appear in one of her infamous selfies.

The mother-of-one even gave away a cheeky peck on the cheek to some naval officers and posed on top of a tank and keenly listened while officers explained their activities on the carrier.

The star is in the United Arab Emirates promoting her latest perfume. She was traveling across Dubai and Abu Dhabi and shared several photos online inside the nightclubs and restaurants of the wealthy states. 

However, clearly keen to show her softer side as well as enjoying the excesses of the wealthy emirates, she spent a full afternoon meeting and greeting American heroes. 

And her countrymen and women seemed delighted to welcome their headline-grabbing guest as they showed her around.

Petite Kim trotted happily around deck in a pair of towering stilettos, listening to the officers escorting her.

She posed for selfies, of course, with the ranks against a backdrop of helicopters,
