Why did Brock Lesnar fail to join the military? Here's the truth

Brock Lesnar, the renowned professional wrestler, had a fascinating journey, trying diverse career paths before making a name for himself in WWE. At seventeen, he attempted to join the Army National Guard but couldn't due to a genetic condition. This setback led him to pursue greatness in professional wrestling instead.

 The Aspiration to Serve:

Young Brock Lesnar, driven by a sense of duty and adventure, aspired to join the Army National Guard. He had his sights set on working with explosive charges in the local artillery supply unit. This ambition reflected his desire to be part of a greater cause and to serve his country.

The Genetic Hurdle:

During the enlistment process, a routine eye test revealed that Lesnar suffered from red-green color blindness, a genetic condition that disqualified him from handling explosives. As a result, he was assigned to a clerical position, which was far from his envisioned role. This unexpected obstacle left him disappointed, as he could not fulfill his intended role within the military.
