Paul Newman
Paul Newman has served on the stage and in the war. He worked through Yale University’s V-12 program. Newman went through with this, hoping to one day become a pilot in the U.S Navy. Once he arrived at the base camp however, he was informed that his colorblindness would prevent this dream. He was instead given the role of gunner for torpedo bombers.
Dan Rather
Dan Rather went from being the news to reporting the news in the course of his lifetime. Though he's now known as a CBS News anchor, he began his career as a US Marine Corps soldier who fought in the Korean War. Dan Rather has claimed that he joined the service twice, but after some investigation by outside journalists, this claim was proven to be falsified.
