TV show description:
This reality competition TV series is hosted by General Wesley Clark (retired) and Samantha Harris and pays homage to the men and women who serve in the US Armed Forces and first-responder services.
In this fast-paced game, eight celebrities gather at a remote training facility where they are challenged to execute complicated missions inspired by real military exercises. From helicopter drops into water to long-range weapons fire, the contestants are tested physically, mentally and emotionally. Each will be paired with a special operative from a military branch or first-responder force, including former US Army Delta Force and Green Berets, US Navy SEALS, US Marines, and police officers. They’ll train alongside their partners and compete in the competition missions with them. Each of the teams is competing for a cash prize on behalf of a military, veterans or first-responder charity.
Committed to hiring recent veterans on the crew, the producers of Stars Earn Stripes say they hope to inspire other employers throughout the country to make similar commitments to returning US heroes — and to show audiences just how incredible their missions really are.
The celebrity competitors in season one include four-time undefeated world boxing champion Laila Ali, actor Dean Cain, actor and former National Football League player Terry Crews, multi-platinum recording artist, actor, producer and television personality Nick Lachey, Alaska businessman and four-time Iron Dog snowmobile race champion Todd Palin, The Biggest Loser trainer Dolvett Quince, Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street, and WWE diva, Eve Torres.
The operatives include Andrew McLaren, Brent Gleeson, Chris Kyle, Dale Comstock, Grady Powell, J.W. Cortes, Talon Smith, and Tom Stroup.

Me and my Wife both liked the show. We hope that it will come back on for another season
I really liked this show. I think it reminds all of us that these heroes put their lives on the line for us every day. I’m for anything that supports our troops. This show brings home the danger they live with and the bravery they exhibit on daily basis, often for many years with very few breaks. Please keep it going.
I loved this show. Coupled with the book No Easy Day it makes me proud to be an American! Anything that supports our vets is on my A list.
The pretenders on this display of ignorance will never have to pick up body parts, smell the stench of blood or watch a brother or sister die. They will not come back with PTSD or their bodies mangled. My nephew, having survived two deployments to Iraq just laughs at the”Fools”and their make believe action. Let the “stars” enlist and volunteer for a combat mission. Bet they will not. Wesley Clark and his cohorts should be ashamed of themselves! David Hackworth must be crying in his grave.
I think this show need the support of all of us to stay. It gives us a glimse of what all these men and women endure to keep us save and remind us to take care of them after they had given all. My gratitute to them for keeping us save and enjoy our liberty.
