Ted Nugent and the word "patriot" are two terms that do not belong in the same sentence. Nugent is a draft dodger.
I'm no! Nugent was never a draft dodger as he actually got on the bus when his number was called. He was rejected for bad hearing due to playing in the Amboy Dukes. His selective service recorded reflects this. Nugent lied to the magazine High Times about shitting in his pants only to boost album sales to the anti-war crowd post Vietnam in 1977.
Really?
Ted Nugent - Wikipedia
In a 1977
High Times article, Nugent stated that he took
crystal meth and defecated in his pants in order to avoid being drafted into the
Vietnam War.
[40] Nugent reaffirmed this in a 1990 interview with
Detroit Free Press, stating that "a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine".
[41] In other interviews, Nugent has denied this claim, stating that he
dodged the draft by enrolling at
Oakland Community College to get a student deferment. However, his
Selective Service classification record shows ratings of 1-Y and 4-F for 1969 and 1972 respectively, indicating ineligibility for military service under established physical, mental, or moral standards, rather than student deferment.
