My great-grandfather served. He wasn't on the front lines; he was one of the medics who evaluated soldiers before they shipped out. I was named after him.

Carter was in the Naval Academy during World War II and graduated in 1946; while he was "in" a service academy, he would not have been called to active service during the war unless he was drafted.

Elizabeth II was in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, not the regular Army.

Your videos are REALLY good but this short is lacking in context and could be perceived as misleading.

There are literally hundreds, dare I say thousands of famous people who served in the world wars. Some of them were even famous before they served.
