Mickey Rooney in a Jeep in WW2, he was drafted and did 2 years of troops entertainment, got a bronze star with clusters


Rooney was trained as a sniper but was assigned to do morale boosting "Jeep Shows" along the front lines. While at the front, he was known to sneak away and as he put it, "Practice the craft that the Army had trained him to do."
