Thank You For Serving

Did you know that singer James Blunt was in the British army? Blunt was a captain in the Household Cavalry and served in Canada, Kosovo and stood guard over the dead Queen mother as she lay in state.... nobody dared steal her with Blunt on the job. 
American General Wesley Clark ordered Blunt's unit to attack some Russians at a strategically placed airport but he refused, he was backed up by British General Mike Jackson who said he wasn't going to start world war III. They ended up surrounding the airport until the Russians ran out of food and then the Russians decided it might be nice to share the airport.

Other stars have been in the military that you might be unaware of.

Justin Bieber was in the Canadian Special Incident Tactical Response Hair Unit and has served 3 tours of  Iraq before he had a breakdown with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) now as part of his therapy he traumatizes others with his music.

Katie Holmes is a trained sniper having 87 kills under her belt. She was dishonorable discharged when the ears of her targets were found in her locker, then she married Tom Cruise ..... makes total sense now.

George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Don Cheadle never enlisted. They used their celeb status to drive around looking like soldiers and shooting up villages for fun.


Rhianna was never in the military but plenty of the military have been in her. The Umbrella song was originally called Groundsheet which was her military nickname. 
 
Burt Reynolds served during the 1980's but doesn't like to talk about it.
