They are slamming the door shut be no one else will ever top their success and value added contributions to their country. Soccer players and violinists, buckle up be it's going to be impossible to get exemption after what these guys did. When this is all over, anyone who tries to get out of serving will be told,
"The #1 Billboard artists with countless awards and countless Guinness book records, who have brought in trillions over the last 10 years, served honorably in the military, and so can you." ®
