Celebrities That Served In the Military Before Making It Big

Kurt Vonnegut

Though he was in training at Cornell, Kurt was kicked out of the program due to a satirical article he had written and his poor grades. No longer a student, he could not defer from the army and was drafted into the US Army where he studied to be an engineer. While in WWII, he was captured by Germans but was freed before the train took him to a prison camp. He also survived the bombing of Dresden.
