ODD this. Considering the writer voted 2 times for a guy who boasted of dodging the draft and organizing Anti Amnerican protests overseas during the Vietnam era.
Was Vietnam a war that “Washington” decided we were going to lose?
“Shut up and sing” applies to all singers, regardless of political persuasion.
Wow, I'll say it is.
Anyone care to fact-check that story?
Gay bar?
Regardless, Nugent’s descriptions are still accurate. Most military personnel agree with him. Just because he did not serve in the military is irrelevant. Chances are better than 90% that the political hack passing as a journalist didn’t either.
Too tired to look up all the stuff but here is the story as I have heard it..
In 1990 Ted was talking to a Rolling Stone reporter and fed him this crap.
Ted is IIA (deaf in one ear and that IS true).
Wow.
I’m stunned. No reference to Bush avoiding the draft and serving as well??? C’mon, Roeper, get with the program!!
;-)
Wasn’t there rumors last week that Nugent thought about running for governor somewhere? Looks like the MSM tear-down attacks have started!
“showed up for his draft board physical in pants caked with his own urine and feces, winning a deferment.” .............Highly unlikely, but it could be true, so therefore it is. Ask Dan Rather.
Why would one participate in a war started by Democrats that made pretend they were fighting communism? That war was lost before even one shot was fired. It was a war made for votes, nothing more nothing less. It was only when Nixon got in and tried to win it that the Treasoncrats became more and more blatant about their true intentions and tried to draw attention away from it by focusing 99.9999% on a hotel break in. A break in that someone like Clinton would call "a days pay". This is exactly what they are doing today with Iraq. They can`t stand that we have a President that actually wants to win, so they are beside themselves blowing up one non-issue after another.
well, listen to the leftists whine like the girlie-men they are.
Like many of us, Nugent was far more liberal in his youth. Combine that with the fact that he’s a wild man and you get crusty shorts.
Two of my uncles found more rational ways out. One joined the National Guard and the other got a college deferment. BTW my grandfather wasn’t wealthy or politically connected. He was an electrician raising 5 kids on one income. (Just felt the need to blow that liberal fantasy out of the water)
But - it is NOT unusual for those who took advantage of circumstances, or managed the circumstances or created the circumstances to avoid the draft —— to later become the MOST vociferous microphone or keyboard warriors...
Ted has ALWAYS struck me as just a little too full of it....
His heart is now in the right place, but his ass wasn’t when it was needed..
For WHATEVER reason....
Hannity is a born hero worshiper. Ted Nugent maybe a riot but Hannity carries his infatuation for pop culture figures way beyond anything normal. It goes hand in hand with his major suck up to liberal RINO`s Schwarzenegger and Giuliani.
Ted Nugent is an entertainer.
TED NUGENT insists he has paid his dues for avoiding the draft to fight in Vietnam - he spent “a couple of weeks ready to rock” with a giant machine gun in Afghanistan two years ago (04). The Republican rocker feels awful about avoiding the army in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but he believes he has more than made up for it. He says, “Do I feel guilt and embarrassment? Yes. “I wish I’d understood how important America’s fight against our enemies was. “But did I go to Fallujah two years ago? Damn right I did. “And was I in Afghanistan, manning a 50-calibre machine gun in a Chinook, ready to rock? Yes. “Was I there for years? No, a couple of weeks. But I am not a coward.”
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away;
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen—
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and PISSING off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...
Nugent changed his ways. That’s a good thing. More Baby Boomers should cross over, however late it’s getting.
