Elvis Presley's Army career : ウィキペディア英語版 | Elvis Presley's Army career
Elvis Presley served in the United States Army between March 1958 and March 1960. At the time of his draft he was one of the most well-known names in the world of entertainment. Before entering the U.S. Army, Presley had caused national outrage with his sexually charged performances and rock and roll music. Many parents, religious leaders, and teachers groups saw his draft, removing him from public view, as a positive thing. Despite being offered the chance to enlist in Special Services to entertain the troops and live in priority housing, Presley decided to serve as a regular soldier. This earned him the respect of many of his fellow soldiers and people back home who had previously viewed him in a negative light. During his service Presley's life was affected in several ways. First, his mother, Gladys, died of a heart attack brought on by acute hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. Presley was deeply affected by her death and never fully recovered. Secondly, during his time in West Germany, he met his future wife Priscilla Beaulieu. Also, while in West Germany, Presley became dependent on stimulants and barbiturates. These drugs, and more importantly the drugs they led to, contributed to Presley's death at age 42. After his release from military service, Presley found a new fan base among an older age group, thanks in part to his army career and releases of ballads over rock and roll songs. ==Pre-induction==
