Gene Simmons served in the Israeli Army.
;-)
The man has seen the horrors of islamofascism, so this comes as no surprise.
This is from IMDB.com:
When Simmons' came to America, his name was changed from Chaim Witz to Gene Klein. He later decided to use "Gene Simmons" for professional purposes.
He is the son of Hungarian Jews. His mother is a Holocaust survivor. In his book "Sex Money KISS", Simmons wrote that his grandmother willingly went into a gas chamber with his great-grandmother because she didn't want her mother to have to die alone. Simmons' mother is the only member of her entire family to survive the Holocaust. She managed to survive partly due to her skills as a hairdresser (a wife of one of the NAZI German officer liked how she did hair and had her kept around to be her hairstylist).
