is all i found:

In a July 15, 1990, Detroit Free Press interview, Nugent crowed about how he managed to dodge the draft. He claims that 30 days before his draft board physical, he disavowed personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and with a week to go until the physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether. When the big day came, he had been living in excrement-caked and urine-stained pants.

I'm surprised they didn't make him a sniper.

Found that as well, seems so ludicrous of an attempt wouldn't they see through that.

Or maybe it's true.

Even if Ted Nugent really said these things in 1990, (and that has not been verified) it seems like hyperbole on Nugent's part.

Firstly, ten days of junk food and Pepsi would have absolutely no effect on a draft board physical, I dont believe.

I also don't believe he went to the physical in excrement-caked and urine-stained pants.

Don't know why, but I just dont believe Nugent's own so-called memories of himself.

In fact I see it more as "Vietnam era braggadocio" -- as anyone who lived thru this era can attest to.

Vietnam, far more than the Iraq situation, was indeed a useless war. Not its concept, but for Heaven's sake, we just sent young men to die and the US politicians like DEMOCRAT PRES JOHNSON refused to allow the US attack the North or to bomb Hanoi, and other North Vietnam strategic places.

IT WAS a SUICIDAL war in many ways for US forces, plain and simple, and that's what turned many initial supporters off.

And I supported the war most of the time, even back in the 60s.

I registered for the draft, and was classified 4W, or something like that, which was 'too young to be drafted.'
