How "Fearless" Ted Nugent Got Out Of Vietnam !!!

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.”

How Fearless Ted Made Up For Missing Vietnam !!!

<snip>

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."

How Fearless Ted Has Been Rewarded By President Bush !!!

<snip>

WASHINGTON, DC--Stating that he had "Completely forgotten about the other two architects of freedom and liberty, who also happen to rock like there's no tomorrow", President Bush awarded two additional Americans with the Medal of Freedom yesterday.

Rock sensation Ted Nugent and country heavyweight Charlie Daniels were both presented with the coveted Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House.

Ted Nugent has been a staple in the rock business as the consummate axe man and conservative activist. Bush recognized him for, "Seeing me through all of the tough decisions with tracks like 'Cum N Gitya Sum-O-This' and 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang'. I listened to the Penetrator album almost as much my Full Bluntal Nugity disc when we were getting ready to head into Baghdad. What a patriot this guy is." Nugent has performed for Bush numerous times, in addition to headlining Republican fundraising dinners and midnight Glo-Bowl events for the Dawson County Republican Committee in Texas.

Nugent and Daniels both attended a pig roast with the Bush Family in the White House's Rose Garden after the medal ceremony.
