Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson’s family were staunch patriots who laid utmost emphasis on serving in the military. So, after the man got a degree in English literature, he found himself pushed into the US Army. The induction soon led to training at the Ranger School, where he learned how to fly a helicopter.

Despite doing well in the forces, Kris didn’t feel content as an army man and quit his job after being assigned a captain’s rank. Eventually, Kristofferson made a name for himself as a musician and actor, but that success came at the cost of his family’s wrath.
