Re: Ted Nugent, super patriot and draft dodger.
Has anyone ever confirmed the story about Nugent defecating on himself for a month prior to his draft-board visit?

I tried Googling the supposed 1995 interview with him in the Detroit Free Press where he is supposed to have bragged about avoiding the draft. Also, I sent a request to Snopes but I have never seen anything on it. One would think this would be a good story for snopes to check out.

I sure would like to lay my hands on a copy of that interview if it exists.

1. It wouldn't surprise me the biggest boosters of the war are also
the biggest chicken hawks or draft dodgers.

5. Oh, you are so right on.
WHo could take Nugent seriously on ANY level.

I don't think the drugs have quite worn off. Hmm, maybe he should be heading off to Baghdad- bet the drugs wear off quickly.

Good for you!!

Joe

2. Ted Nugent and the culture of life
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 08:17 PM by billbuckhead
"Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em! To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molestors dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun, and when they attack you, shoot 'em."


So the self proclaimed party of "life" aligns themselves with the NRA, and Tom Delay and Ted Nugent criss cross the country advocating violence against those who "attack you," including "activist judges." Wow, that is quite the culture of life that conservatives love to promote. So that is moral values? You have to wonder what their children are learning.

Even more disgusting was when Nugent ran out on stage in Houston with two giant assault rifles in each of his hands. I'm sure the families of deceased policemen, and women, by the hands of assault weapons on the streets of America appreciated Nugents promotion of such unnecessary weaponry now easily available to street criminals, gangs, and even terrorists. After all, conservatives pandered to the NRA by allowing the assualt weapons ban to expire, instead of thinking about national security. I could only imagine what will happen to that vicious deer that gets in Nugents way. As General Wesley Clark says, "if you want an assault weapon we have a uniform and two shiny pairs of boots for you in the United States Army." But then again, you don't expect a party full of draft dodgers, and chickenhawks to defend America, right? No, we need them patrolling the front lines of our nations forests shooting animals with assault weapons. Nugent is more armed then our own soldiers in Iraq it would appear. That is an atrocity!

3. He's an asshole so...
It's normal for him to defecate on himself.

4. Here's a link

5. Q: Ted Nugent Served in Vietnam? A: False. For all his right wing rhetoric and tough talk during the Gulf War, Terrible Ted was a yellow-livered draft dodger. In fact Ted went to great lengths to fail his army physical. He fasted for a week and drank pot after pot of coffee to drive up his blood pressure. He didn't bathe for weeks and showed up with a turd in his pants and another in his hair. Uncle Sam found Ted unfit for military service. Wouldn't have been a cryin' shame if that incredibly talented rocker had died in battle? I think Ted knew that the future of rock depended on him and Vietnam was just too big a risk to take.

6. From Wikpedia
According to a July 15, 1990 interview for the Detroit Free Press, Nugent described how he avoided the draft during the Vietnam War: He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with excrement and stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. His quote: “ but if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed, , or I’d have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes… I would have killed everybody.”

12. all the hippies in the foxholes?
um yeah... He'd have killed everybody. Gee what a badass.

Somehow I get a different idea. I have a sneaky suspicion he'd have been dry gulched on a patrol really early on by his buddies. They'd knock him out, blindfold him and tie a cowbell to his ass.

8. Dunno if this is helpful

From a fan? site:

5. Q: Ted Nugent Served in Vietnam? A: False. For all his right wing rhetoric and tough talk during the Gulf War, Terrible Ted was a yellow-livered draft dodger. In fact Ted went to great lengths to fail his army physical. He fasted for a week and drank pot after pot of coffee to drive up his blood pressure. He didn't bathe for weeks and showed up with a turd in his pants and another in his hair. Uncle Sam found Ted unfit for military service. Wouldn't have been a cryin' shame if that incredibly talented rocker had died in battle? I think Ted knew that the future of rock depended on him and Vietnam was just too big a risk to take.

Or perhaps he admitted it in his book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0895262797/002-3813508-6384847?v=glance&n=283155

One reader review notes: A Vietnam draft dodger cum chickenhawk, and a statutory rapist who became a guardian of the girl with whom he carried on an incestuous affair are not things to sell to the public as a compassionate socially responsible citizen.

And I may have found a pointer (not a link) to the interview here:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?s=ca53db10374aa54a1a0327db9ed1781b&p=1552506204#post1552506204
But enough about his sometimes awesome, sometimes middling musical career. As patriotic as Uncle Ted claims to be, he pulled a nasty stunt to evade Uncle Sam during the Vietnam War. 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. Always the hero, however, Nugent reassured the Free Press, “But if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes. I would have killed everybody.”

9. Also pedophile.
Nugent is well known to have a thing for very young girls. Courtney Love says she fellated him when she was 12.

17. Which is worse for you?
The mental image of ted Nugent's gizzardy, withered pizzle or the idea of head from Courtney "Hole" Love?

I can't make up my mind!

18. What Is Worse? Drinking A Cup Of Diarrhea Or Drinking A Cup Of Vomit?
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 10:58 PM by DistressedAmerican
You decide.

Oddly, I'd take either over seeing any of the above naked at any age!
