We’ve often heard many celebrities giving thanks to their fans and country, saying that they would be nothing without them and that they would do anything for them.

How many celebrities would actually do that for real?

Many famous people have been exempt from their duty to serve the military, but despite that there are many who still took the oath to serve and protect their country.
