Okay, so, about this Riley Green thing and whether he was in the military. I was really curious about it myself, you know, ’cause the guy’s got that rugged charm and all. So, I did what any curious person would do – I started digging around.

First, I scoured the internet, reading every article and forum post I could find. Some folks online were saying he was, some were saying he wasn’t. There was a lot of back and forth, and honestly, it was a bit of a mess. It seemed like nobody really knew for sure.
Then, I stumbled upon this article that mentioned something about there being no credible rumors or misinformation regarding his military service. That piqued my interest. If there’s no solid info out there, where did these rumors even come from?
- Checked out a few fan pages and fan forums. Lots of speculation there.
- Dug into some interviews with Riley, hoping he’d mentioned it somewhere. No dice.
- Even looked up some stuff about that event on September 11th, you know, the one with the Corps of Cadets. Thought maybe that was the connection.
After all that, I kind of hit a dead end. But then, I found this other article that listed a bunch of things you might not know about Riley Green. And guess what? One of them was that he didn’t plan to record “I Wish Grandpas Never Died”. That’s cool and all, but it didn’t really answer my question.
But I kept digging, and finally, I found it, plain as day, in another article it says “Was Riley Green in the military? Yes.” That’s it. That’s the confirmation I was looking for.
So, there you have it. Turns out, Riley Green was in the military. Mystery solved! It took some effort, but I finally got to the bottom of it. Now, I can go back to enjoying his music with this little extra bit of knowledge about the man behind the songs.
