Rare Pictures of Elvis Presley That Show The Rare Human Behind The Legend
Raising Moral in The US Army
Elvis’ role in American pop culture in the ’50s was so important that even the US government recognized his huge influence. Presley proved to be another political weapon against the Soviet Union in 1958, after being listed in the Army and sent to Germany. He rapidly became a symbol of the country’s external policy and likely contributed to influence the decision of hundreds of young men joining the Army.
During his service, Elvis was never in real danger and occasionally performed to avoid tedium and to entertain his fellow soldiers. Of course, his mere stage presence had brought a smile to the soldiers’ faces.
