Yes

AnswerAccording to Wikipedia, Jimi Hendrix liked to ride around in stolen cars. After he got caught doing it twice, a judge gave him the choice of going to prison or joining the Army. He enlisted and was assigned to the 101st Airborne, who threw him out after a year for being a bad soldier.

To clarify, he received an honorable discharge after injuring himself during training in jump school.

Yes he was in the 10st airborne as a paratrooper (person who parachutes and shoots people). In the Vietnam War. That was actually a fairly high position in Vietnam. But I don't think he choose to go to war, it think he was drafted
