Is this true? If so, my opinion of Ted just went down about 90%. I know that people change over time, but I would not forgive Clinton for avoiding the draft. I will hold Ted to the same standard.

I don't know. If Ted owns up to it and says he was brainwashed, at the time, by his professors, the media and the other Marxists that permeated society, and if he then says that he has since learned the errors of his ways, I could support him.

“Is this true?”
I read the piece in the Detroit Free Press. Sounds like it was true, or at least Ted wanted them to think it was. He made a comment about not trusting himself in a foxhole with a bunch of hippies. Something to the effect of, “I would have tried to kill everybody”.

Don't get your shorts in a wad about this. I would have to say that about 90% of the people I went to High School with {males} tried to avoid the Draft. This was in the late 60's. The rest of us volunteered willingly to serve our country and I never held any animosity towards anyone who didn't want to serve. Actually as time has passed many of those same people have told me how they regretted not serving and have always had a guilt trip about it. Pretty funny in retrospect

Pay attention to what people are doing now -- not to what they did 30 or 40 years ago. Ted Nugent came to his libertarian beliefs rather late in life, I believe, and is a good spokesman for them now.
If a woman had an abortion 4 decades ago but has changed her beliefs and regrets it now, will you still condemn her? If you're thinking, yes, then you're a lost cause.

Perhaps.
But The Nuge didn't go on to treat members of the military like bellhops, lackeys and p*ssboys when he made it big.
