So Ted Nugent avoided taking a bath for a month, pooped and pee'd in his pants (and kept wearing them), stopped brushing his teeth, stopped shaving, and did drugs to avoid the draft. He cried when he was getting his physical when the workers were battering him. He passed out when he got his blood drawn.

And this man is an idle to many....


High Times:How did you get out of the draft?

Ted Nugent: Ted was a young boy, appearing to be a hippie but quite opposite in fact, working hard and playing hard, playing rock and roll like a deviant. People would question my sanity, I played so much. So I got my notice to be in the draft. Do you think I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play army? Give me a break! I was busy doin’ it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common curs, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the poop out of scuffin’ around in the gutters.” But I wasn’t a gutter dog. I was a hard workin’, mother****in’ rock and roll musician.

I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.

See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workin’ dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I’m gonna play their own game, and I’m gonna destroy ‘em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and piss. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin’ awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I’ve always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded mother****er. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn’t know and I’m vacuuming that poop right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was – ‘cause I was really into bein’ clean and on the ball – I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.

So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn’t believe the smell. They were ridiculin’ me and pushin’ me around and I was cryin’, but all the time I was laughin’ to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, “Oh my God, put those back on! You ****ing swine you!” Then they had a urine test and I couldn’t piss, But my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin’ up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin’ up. So I went home and cleaned up.

They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They’d call dead people before they’d call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of mother****in’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it. I was too busy doin’ my own thing, you know?
 
Republicans don't care about service to their country anymore. Ted's got money and guns, they can just over look the rest.
 
Clinton wrote letters to his friends in Congress, thousands fled to Canada, Barry is an self admitted drug user. All this occurred in the far past. Why is any of this relevant?
 
Is "Barry" the President Of The United States?

Or is this a different Barry? Some junkie? Clarification appreciated.

Barry Soetero, the name the occupier of the WH went by during most of his life, until it became expedient to become Barak Obama, but then you knew that.

I'm relatively sure that you know that the one and the same has stated his past drug use.

Point is, it does not matter much what happened 40 years ago. But if it does matter, it matters in all cases.
 
Lets see, if Bill Clinton did it, that makes it right for Old Ted to, too, huh? I remember when Right wingers were more loyal to their country than their party. Oh well those were the good old days. Ted Nugent is a gutless wuss that shoots animals in cages and was too chicken **** to serve his country. I wish they made Ted Nugent urinal strainers like they do Jane Fonda. It is relevant because the RWers consider themselves great Americans, yet defend this turd and even make him a leader of the NRA, the strongest special interest group on the right. I dont like Ted, in case I havent mentioned it. Draft dodging loser, and now the right considers him a great American.

No, that is not my point. If Nugent, Clinton, Barry, or anyone else is POS now, then that is relevant. It this occurred 40 years ago, it is not relevant.
 
It points out a deep character flaw. Nugent actively avoided the draft, now he is a leader of the party that considers itself great Americans. It is not that hypocritical for democrats. Yes, something a "man" did 40 years ago dodging duty to his country is relevant today. I am kinda disappointed I have to say that. If you wanna be a Ted Nugent fan feel free, I will continue to try to find the urinal strainer with his face on it.

Mak, if draft dodging during the 70's points out character flaws, then there are a lot of flawed characters including Clinton. Many have gone on and become admired Americans.

I am not a fan of Nugent, I had to look him up to learn who he was. I am a lifetime member of NRA, cost me 12 bucks in 1956, but I am not an active member. Nor do I consider Clinton a POS due to what he did in the 70's. I kinda of admire the man. So to with Barry, what I don't like is what he is now. And I don't consider myself a Republican. The current Republican party is way too far to the left for me, except concerning religion, where they are way too far to the right. Capitalist Constitutionalist would perhaps best describe my politics.

People change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, sometimes not at all.
 
I wasn't getting on you personally. I just see Ted pretty much as the same as Jane Fonda. The RW still has not changed it opinion about her a little bit, but...ah, I am beating a dead horse. You been doing ok Jimbo?

Doing fine. But if Nugent is anything close to J Fonda, then he is truly a piece of ****. Great veterans think alike.

According to Snopes, Nugent claims he made up this story to mess with a High Times interviewer. He had a student deferrment through most of the war, but he was classified 1Y after a physical exam (not to be called up except in national emergency) and was not classified 4f until much later when the 1Y classification was dropped from use.

So there's some question as to whether there is any truth to any of this... but I'll admit I've never heard this story before, and even if fake I think somewhat less of Nugent for telling it.

Then again, he was young at the time, and it was a long time ago in a very different era and circumstances.

:shrug:

snopes.com: Ted Nugent Dodged the Draft?
 
I agree. What happened 40 years ago is of very little relevance. That includes drug use and draft evasion.

So, if it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter in all cases.

Works for me.
 
I disagree. If you are going to be an upstanding citizen, your past matters no matter what.

It matters that Obama and Clinton smoked weed "whenever". Should we account of that in voting decisions, yes. The problem is tons of people have broken this law and tons of people don't think weed should be illegal anyway. But none the less they are in a position now where the most important thing is Law. They need to stop being cowards and take a stand against marijuana laws.

Nugent is viewed as a patriotic American that stands up for our rights. He has a "tough guy" image. I think his interview was sincere and he only reneged because he was judged by people. I personally think he is a coward hiding behind a fake image.

In fact, the whole thing sounds like a cover story for a true coward. One who was so scared of the draft they did drugs, crapped their pants at their physical, cried and passed out when blood was drawn. If it was a cover story they would probably say something like, "I was crying, but I was laughing on the inside". Wait.....he did say that lol. Must be a multi-talented dude if he can cry on command....what a sissy.

Unfortunately, we have a whole generation that grew up doing those things but conditioned to lie about it. I don't know what a populace made up of kneejerk liars "evolves" into.................

Due to technology information is rapidly spread and we will learn more about everyone than we use to learn in the past. But since I'm "slightly conservative" I don't believe in evolution and I think nothing should change *just kidding lol*

I think people need to start owning their mistakes. Sooner or later all the dirt a President shared on FB or Twitter will come to haunt them. I think Presidents and other upstanding citizens need to explain their situation at that time in a professional matter and own it.

In this article Nugent owned up to what he did. But I don't believe he acted this way intentionally. Again, I think he was so scared to death that he did all of these things in panic. It explains his whole persona. I know lots of weak people who hide behind a similar persona.
 
The US didn't have any vital national security interests in Vietnam. So those who went to Vietnam were not serving our country, they were being used as cannon fodder to fuel the greed of the military industrial complex.

I would have dodged the draft too.

Now we are getting somewhere!

You are absolutely right. And you know what, I respect you for your honesty.
 
So...for the record...a bunch of douchebags that support elected democrat draft dodgers are gleeful and think they have some sort of relevant zinger against 'republicans' because an unelected 70's rocker is reported to have dodged the draft?

Thats just...funny as hell.
