Ted Nugent DID NOT 'wet his pants' to avoid the draft.
Radio interview today | 08-28-07 | Ted Nugent


Posted on 08/28/2007 8:36:11 AM PDT by JOAT


Ted Nugent gave an interview this morning on a local station and specifically stated that he "registered for the draft" and that they simply "didn't call my number."

He hammered the 'journalists' who reported that he had reported to the draft board caked in his own waste.

I listened to him say these quotes in response to direct questions.

A little 'FYI' to all the FReepers who swallowed the story whole yesterday and hammered Ted for evading the draft.

born in 1948......should have been drafted before any numbers were drawn for the draft lottery which began in 1971. People were drafted at age 19 way more often than at 20. He turned 20 in Dec 1968. Something stinks about him claiming “his” “Number” didn’t “come up”.

Parse it as you like.

BS. Nugent bragged about this a very long time ago, long before his most recent forays into being controversial. This is one of those things where I wish I had saved the link from a few years ago.

A little googling reveals:

Ted Nugent birthday - Dec 13, 1948
1969 Lottery - Dec 13 number was 163

He was almost 21 by the time the draft lottery began. It’s hard for me to believe he wasn’t called up for a physical. After that—here’s a link to numbers drawn in the draft lottery. His DOB is Dec. 13, 1948:

Just because there was a draft does not mean everyone was called - even before the lottery.

Nugent couldn’t make the physical, he fell ill with a bad case of cat-scratch fever as I recall ...

google all you like.

I was drafted at age 19 + 6 weeks in Sep 1966.....fact is I taken the physical and had my notice “Greetings” letter from the draft board even BEFORE I turned 19. The same was true for all the others who had never had anything but a 1_A classification who reported for induction that day. There is only 30 miles between Nugents draft board in Ann Arbor and mine. If he was 1-A and turned 19 in Dec 1967, he would have been drafted during early 1968. Remember, this timeframe was the “buildup”.

He pulled some stunt or otherwise became “not 1-A”. Lottery has NOTHING to do with it!

I'm proud to have been RA, and ever proud to have served in Vietnam.
I went back with my daughter in 2000.

I'm convinced we're winning and will yet "win" the Vietnam War, depending on whether we win the WOT.

I can only speak from experience. I graduated from high school May 1966 and immediately applied for and was accepted in a local junior college. I attended college for less than a month before dropping out at the end of September 1966. The college notified the draft board immediately. I lost my student deferment within a few weeks and was reclassified 1-A by my local draft board. I was notified to report for a physical the last week of October. I enlisted in the Marine Corps when it became inevitable that I would be inducted.

Local draft boards were given quotas each month dictating the number of men to be drafted. I realize these numbers varied from place to place.

Obviously not everyone was drafted but most men classified 1-A went for a physical.

I imagine Nugent’s records might be accessed through Freedom of Information which I’m sure the news media will now attempt.

My number was #007 Oct 26th in the 69 draft. I got my draft notice at NAS Kingville Texas where I was stationed as a member of training squadron VT-23. It was good for a chuckle or two ...

My older brother was born in 48 and he got drafted for Nam. I remember reading his draft notice that came to the house. “You will report with a tooth brush,black bag,etc...”
On the other hand I was born in 57 and I remember our gym teacher in high school telling us that we had to go to the Post office and register for the draft. Me and my buddies all went down and registered. I was a little scared. However we pulled out of Nam before my number came up.

I was born in November of 1957. The draft ended in 1973 and registration was no longer required about four months after I turned 17 so I never bothered.

Registration for the draft? I thought it was law to register.

1. Hand This Draft Dodger a Diaper

http://www.taylormarsh.com/archives_view.php?id=26130

When the Marines at Camp Pendleton hear about this they'll be shredding the pictures they took with Ted Nugent. When I was at an event for the Devil Dog Marines at Camp Pendleton, the guys loved to get their pictures taken with him. But this news puts a whole new meaning on it and the Marines won't like it.

Via John Amato:


That Nugent, he's a man's man. He talks the talk and walks the walk, right?

Except when it was time to register for the draft during the Vietnam era. By his own admission, Nugent stopped all forms of personal hygiene for a month and showed up for his draft board physical in pants caked with his own urine and feces, winning a deferment. Creative! ... ..

Facing a draft, Nugent bravely wet his pants


Wonder if they handed him a diaper?

Oh, and by the way, the YouTube outing Nugent for carrying automatic weapons on stage has been disabled. I bet. But thanks to John Amato at C&L we still have the video.

Wonder how Hannity will take the news? Ignore it, because the truth always gets in the way of his fictional political tales.

Oh, and to add, you can contact draft dodging, diaper dependent Ted if you want. I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing from you.

6. What a chickenshit--hell, his number was 163, if that birthday in the Nut Thread there is correct

http://www.landscaper.net/draft.htm#How's%20your%20"Luck%20of%20the%20Draw"?

They might have gotten him...but damn, to be such a hawk after pulling that kind of stunt really puts him in the chickenshit/chickenhawk category.

[TechBear_Seattle]

2. This story reminds me of another story

The details are not terribly appropriate for this board, but it involves a draft physical, a jar of peanut butter and the line, "Extra crunch, I'd say."

:toast:

[onenote]

3. well, his number was 163 and they inducted folks up to nearly 200

So its unlikely that he didn't at least get called for a physical. (My number was 47 and I was called for a physical even though in my year no one actually was inducted).

He probably evaded the physical through some other means, such as changing his place of domicile (its what I did!) but not nearly as outrageous as his stupid little story.

[madrchsod]

15. he did get a physical but got a 1-y then a 4-f two years later....

[wicket]

4. Nugent is so full of shit he can't even keep track of his lies

:crazy:

[BOSSHOG]

5. Ted, you didn't have to be drafted to serve your country like a man

Per you and yours, your a patriotic motherfucker, so why didn't you just mosy your patriotic ass down to the Army recruiters office and volunteer for combat duty in Vietnam. Because you are a coward right? But you have plenty of company ted, there are "patriots" from coast to coast who just can't seem to find the army recruiting station.

[AnnieBW]

20. Or join the Air Force or Navy

If he didn't want to be drafted. It's what my co-worker did when he dropped out of college. Joined the Air Force, went to language school to learn Russian, and listened to the Russkies all during Vietnam.

[Beausoleil]

7. I still say

that if he had been drafted and had gone to Vietnam, he probably would have crapped his pants. Chickenhawks come in all flavors of white male right-wingers.

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. You know you're a right-wing loser when the Freeper losers disown you.

[Make7]

9. Has anyone dug up his July 15, 1990, Detroit Free Press interview?

 

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.”

It would be interesting to see it in his own words.

10. Ted's newspaper column is still up at wacotrib.com

Please write the editors at [e-mail]

I'm gonna keep posting this on every ted thread I see until the column comes down. PLEASE HELP!

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Some of the freepers are correct.

He was eligible for the draft starting in 1966, three years before he had a lottery number (163). I had a student deferment from 65-69 and was then stuck in the lottery. My number was in the 180s, and I was drafted in 1970.

[madrchsod]

14. i had three deferments and was drafted in 69-4-f

i`d like to know how he got a 1-y then two years later a 4-f.

[Nomad559]

12. The World According to Ted Nugent

The World According to Ted Nugent
http://www.nocompromise.org/news/000731c.html


Ted Nugent Received Student Deferments In 1967 And 1968
http://www.newshounds.us/2007/08/26/proof_ted_nugent_is_a_draft_dodger_will_hannity_keep_defending_him.php

One of our readers sent me a copy of an extract of Nugent’s Selective Service records, obtained via a FOIA request. As you can see, Nugent received student deferments in 1967 (1-S) and 1968 (2-S). But according to the Internet Movie Data Base website, Nugent has been “performing professionally since 1958, non-stop yearly touring since 1967, averaging more than 300 shows per year '67-73.” Hmm, that would include the two years he was supposedly too wrapped up in his studies to be serving his country.

[madrchsod]

13. if you look at his record you`ll see he had

two students deferments then a physical after which he was a 1-y. then in 72 he got a 4-f...i think he must have crapped in his pants when someone in his draft board noticed teddy boy skated through the last few years on a 1-y

[flvegan]

16. OMG, I can't believe No Compromise put that together

That's awesome, I've never seen that.

Hah! Great reading!

[Joanne98]

17. Where's the FOIA?

[KG]

18. what kept him from just straight up enlisting?

i mean, other than his cowardice?

[sendero]

19. He's a liar..

... either then or now, because I read an interview with him in the late 70s where he claimed this stuff about going to the draft office with a week's urine and feces in his clothes.

The thrust of his argument was that he shouldnt' HAVE to go to Nam, he had a CAREER.

[Occulus]

21. Oh my GOD

"I'm convinced we're winning and will yet "win" the Vietnam War,"
