Are there medals for grifting? Todd Palin stars in new Reality series "Stars and Stripe' [View all]

On "Stars Earn Stripes," the celebrity contestants will gather at a remote training facility, where they will participate in a "fierce, entertaining and emotionally charged new competition honoring America's armed forces," according to NBC. Each celebrity will be paired with an "operative," who is a member or a former member of the armed forces or law enforcement agencies, who will coach and guide their celebrity teammate. The challenges will include everything from helicopter drops to long range weapon firing.

The celebrities play to win money for military-based charities and each week, someone will be eliminated
