Henry Kissinger
Almost everyone knows that American statesman Henry Kissinger. But not many know that in 1938, he fled Nazi-controlled Germany. Fast forward five years, when he was a student at college, he decided to join the US military. Even though initially allocated to the engineering branch, Kissinger eventually found himself reassigned to the infantry division.
Since then, over the years, he has served the United States globally, primarily focusing on international relations and military conflicts! Currently, in his nineties, Kissinger is still respected by many for his political wit and distinct persona!
