I was in the Army for four years and I can tell you this is false......however it's a big urban myth amongst folks.  It's actually quite a big rumor amongst army folks and you even have some guys that swear to god they were in his unit.  It's hilarious.

Weird to start a rumor like that when you find out if your in the army or soemthing. Whats weirder is saying you were in his unit. :hihi:

Well as it turns out Don Knotts was not the most feared drill instructor on Paris Island during World War II. What did they expect? The guy only had one bullet.

It can't be true. Axl  was  born in 1962. The draft ended in the mid-1970s, going to a volunteer army. So Axl would not  have  been drafted, but would have had  to enroll. You can enroll  at 18, that puts  it  at 1980. I  don't know what he was doing in 1980, but I doubt it was military service. He was already in Hollywood  Rose  in 1983. So  there  are  3 years  unaccounted for, but one presumes he was  learning to play music and  writing songs. And getting high and partying.....
