@@brianharris4275 He took meth, pooped his pants, and acted crazy to get out of the draft. It worked and he has been playing the same crazy act all these years.
He may have exaggerated how he avoided service, but this is the fact: he could’ve served if he wanted to, but he didn’t. Yet, forty years later, he was one of those voices loudly cheering on another generation of young men to go off and risk death for their country; something he wouldn’t do himself.
are you aware of how badly vietnam vets are treated in todays world? what about agent orange? are you perfect? do you get to govern a now 60yo man on his decisions from his early 20s? the military isnt a great place and hasnt been for a while i can tell you from experience
Taxtro You're a dork i.e. you're a piece of shit. I asked you if you know anything about hunting? You know nothing about it. You don't have a clue as to what's involved. You know nothing about nature. You know nothing about Ted Nugent and Rock N' Roll music.
A deferment on what basis, Ted? If this chickenhawk chauvinist was so gung-ho, an uber-American warrior wannabee, why did he "wait" to be called? Why didn't he volunteer? He's a crazy liar.

+Dan Bertucci His government file on his draft rating states. Theodore Anthony Nugent first received a high school 1-S deferment in February 1967, when he was 18. After briefly being reclassified as available for service, Nugent got a 2-S college deferment when he enrolled in Oakland Community College in Michigan.In August 1969, Nugent took his draft physical and was rejected for service. He was classified as 1-Y, indicating that he was qualified for service only in time of a national emergency. The 1-Y classification was usually issued to candidates saddled with significant medical or mental issues. So if what High Times said was a lie, why didn't he sue for wrongful enrichment or libel? I have a huge problem with a guy who wants to send guys off to die but is scared to do it himself. You have an entire country of leftist idiots that don't understand war is sometimes necessary then you have the other side of the coin. The right wing extremists who puff up their chest about war and have never served, got deferments, or had their parents pull strings to get them out of dangerous duty. There's too much hypocrisy in US politics.
Dan Bertucci I dont stand on hypocrisy. I have my skeletons just like everyone but my lifestyle today as opposed to then isn't conducive to calling me a hypocrite. I was a red conservative then and I'm a red conservative today. The three greatest US president in the last century have been Nixon, FDR and Eisenhower if that explains my politics.
+Dan Bertucci He's no better than Clinton fleeing the country to avoid the draft or Bush Jr. having dad pulls strings. But at least Jr. served his country.
+Dan Bertucci he learned to fly outdated planes that were not being used in Vietnam. It was a rich boys club to even get in the Guard at the time. Chickenhawk Bush
Numbnut, He explained it. He DID start the story. He was screwing with some people, and someone wrote it down. If you're basing all your information on an article in "High Times", you've got some serious issues.
N1095A LOL If you're basing all your information on what comes out of Nugent's mouth -- you've got to be seriously confused by now. The man can't stick to one story. The only thing that remains constant are the details of what he did to avoid the draft - just as they were outlined in the High Times article.
He knows he dogged the draft. He knows those words came out of his mouth "I'm not going" or something like that. He knows he dogged the draft on purpose
And I don’t blame him. I would’ve avoided it if I were in that situation. The problem with Nugent is that he later became such a cheerleader for our military adventures; something that he avoided participating in when it was his time to do so. Hypocrite.

In the middle of his touring with his band Ted signed up for Jr. College to get his deferment. Before he hit 21 he abandoned two children to Catholic Charities. Later married and once again touring he left his wife and kids home alone. Despondent she got in a car intoxicated and killed herself. He backdoored his current wife Shemane impregnating some fan on the road where a Judge had to force him into paying child support. This guy has had an ongoing love affair with himself...a horrible example of a human being.
Ted has told the story of not showering, feigning mental health issues & even claiming he enrolled in college, (yet toured with his band) during several interviews back in the 70's. It wasn't until he starting getting called out on his "pro-war/I would have kicked ass in Nam" comments that he started to deny this, claiming, "no I just had a high draft number". It wasn't just one isolated interview. He's a bit like Romney, Chaney, Rumsfield Bush & the others, they agreed with the Vietnam war & the draft, they just didn't think they should have to go & because of their family's power/connection/cash (& Ted excuses) they got a bunch of deferments & really high draft #. There's even video/photos of Romney actually making fun of anti-war/draft protestors. No offence, but it's one thing to be a conscientious objector & quite another to be pro-war/draft when you know the draft won't affect you.
Liars and hypocrites , but we already knew that . Each day just reveals more low crawling behavior , and when facts come out , they supply new and more unlikely sounding lies . The flag they wave is just a prop to them , cover for one more scam .
Doesn't this guy believe in personal liberty above all, and oppose the overreach of big government? Why is he saying he would have gone to war if the government told him to?

I guess he really set the record straight with this coherent, articulate response. I take pride in veterans like Ted Nugent who served in the military and received medals for their servic- haha I can't do this anymore. He is a chicken hawk, I mean chicken shit for wishing he would have gone to Vietnam to kill a bunch of guys if he had been drafted. "Draft dodger" seems to upset politically correct conservatives, so the fact is this -- he had an opportunity to serve his country and didn't. If I interviewed him, I would ask "Why didn't you enlist?"
He didn't enlist cause he had the chance to tour and play his beloved music. Pretty easy decision. He has more than made up for his lack of service by giving of his time and money to the wonderful warriors of the US military! Case closed you shameful liberal...
spinemelter2000 Indeed.....who can blame him for not wanting any part of those highly dangerous jungle combat missions, while you can fuck any groupie in the neighbourhood, wile playing your precious music ? But he should shut his snout now,and save his ammunition for the local wildlife.....
Mamie Palmer That seems a bit the same as those medieval church pay-offs to get into 'heaven'. This dude in his camouflage atire doing a bit of dollar collecting for vets seems highly opportunistic .it wouldn't be so if he wasn't such a loudmouth about it. Typical case of "patriotism"..."the last refuge of the scoundrell"... He should save his ammunition for the local wildlife...
Nugent claims to be a Patriot, but he didn't serve. That is the issue. He says in this video that he wishes he could have served to go kill some bad guys. Well then Jackass - Why didn't you serve? Cause you are a chicken. You run around professing your chicken hawk attitude but you didn't serve. Love your music and keep it up, but when it comes to politics do what you did during the Vietnam war and keep you head down. BTW - Vietnam Vet - 68-69 101st Airborne.
Bob Hermann Wrong Bob. . . I'm a Patriot and I stayed out of Nam because I'm smart enough to know that for the last hundred years foolish kids let themselves be used by the Globalists in their psychotic game of domination and control by enlisting. You took their bait hook line and sinker - and the worst part is that you have had 50 years and you still haven't figured it out. Study Major General Smedley Butler USMC before you respond to this for best results.
Thanks for service and well said. Now he walks around saying he would do anything for his country but wont run for office because he loves his music more . Just sits on the side lines complaining about what politicians should be doing
For someone who gets off on mindless killing like he does, you'd think he'd have volunteered for the Army, or to be a Marine sniper. No, wait. Unlike trophy animals, people shoot back and cowards can't handle that.
If he wasn't dodging the draft, why didn't he stay in school and finish his education? Seems pretty clear that Community College was just long enough to keep him out of serving his country and that he had no serious educational ambitions.
Reminds me of a local talk show host who was a typical right winger. When talking with a Vietnam Vet he thanked him for his service and then said "I wanted to go but I had a high lottery number." Apparently he never heard of enlistment.
Same thing with Ted. He could’ve joined at any time. But he didn’t. And then forty years later, he was one of the biggest cheerleaders for our military adventures in the Middle East.
@@douglascrouse8793 Never did. But I was never a hypocrite. I never cheered on any war, and I never put down people who protested against any war. And if you actually read and understood the point of my comment, you wouldn’t be asking such a question.
@walker jfs STILL A SHITY PANTS CHICKEN HAWK!! the only thing he shoots is things that don't shoot back. He's also narcissistic prick that can't play national anthem to save his life with just enough talent to make record and the only people that go to his concerts are right wing uneducated Hillbillies
@walker jfs My grandfather was navy diver during ww2 and saved lots of lives and I would of done the same if I was old enough. You have Plenty of right so don't be paranoid about the left taking them away, I'm a British conservative and I'm not scared of the left taking my rights away . And yes if British government called me up I would follow my in my grandfathers footsteps.
amzuel420 Ted has always been a asshole. Back in the late 60's and early 70's those that knew him only have bad things to say about him. He was cheap, narcissistic in the extreme and a cheat who used and abused his heavy rotation of band mates. To make matter worse Ted hid in a Community College for five full years hiding from military service. Yet no degree after five years? Not one photo of him waving our flag back then. As a citizen we all have a right to file as a contentious objector. Many great things came from allowing that possibility. Its not dodging, its refusing yet not running from the ramifications of making that choice. Same with Trump. Several school deferments then he paid a corrupt doctor for his "Bone Spurs" excuse while still participating in athletics.
True. As long as you were a full time college student carrying a full load of classes you could get a deferrment for 4 years to graduation. AND they also held a draft lottery in 1968. Your birthday got you a "random" number from 1 to 365. Many of my college buddies got high numbers that virtually guaranteed they would never be called up by the draft. They could relax. I got number 54, which sucked. My roomate got 286 which was a free pass. That's how it was back then.
"Oh, wait! People have dug up the article! Shxx! OK, gotta go into revisionist history mode! Hey, Donald, what do you need to do when you need to gaslight people?"
Watch Nugents home video taken with his iphone, talking about Trumps victory. Nauseating. He's just about topped himself as far as cringe worthiness goes with that one.
Ted, If you were lying then instead of now, please explain how you got your 4F draft classification. 1Y is for those who can be called up in case of national emergency. 4F is for those deemed "unsuitable for military service". Also, you do have the right to remain silent, but you seem to lack the ability to remain silent.
After shit I and others in my battery saw on deployment I can't blame people for not signing up. Vietnam was almost universally unpopular so I really don't blame people for not fighting if they didn't have to then.
How many famous musicians volunteered for Vietnam or the current war on terror?Very few.Some people don't like Ted because of his hunting or support of gun rights but most people have accepted it.About 16 years ago Ted had a radio show that I listened to.On that show he talked about the other issues he supported.Some of those were gay rights,medical marijuana/industrial hemp,assisted suicide, and many others.The hate for Ted has increased 10x what it was before he talked about these issues.
Ted has a sense of humor & likes to fuk with people. So he didn't serve. Some did and some didn't... so what. I get tired of some of the people who served in the military thinking they are better than everyone else. I honestly appreciate their service, but that is only a part of what & who they are - period. It doesn't give them a life pass to think they are better than everyone else. Some veterans are good people & some are a-holes just like cops, fireman, teachers, plumbers etc. Nugent has raised MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars and given of his own personal time and treasure to honor & support our veterans & he is a tireless supporter of our Constitution. That makes him OK in my book & if you have a different opinion you are entitled to it, but remember this - it doesn't make YOUR OPINION any more right than mine or the local butchers. Opinions are like spincters... everyone has one. I like Ted's music and his politics and his charitable nature. What have YOU done for others lately? In conclusion PANTS UP DON'T LOOT! & support the NYPD! Also, fuk de Blasio and every other liberal piece of trash in America & the rest of the world. Have a nice day.
Ted is a narcissist and a seller of wolf tickets. Bottom line he plays the tough guy roll, but without his weapons he's probably a coward. Many people lost loved ones in the war, me included and I can well understand their animosity for someone who pulled such a stint to avoid the draft. Of course I can't blame anyone for trying to avoid that war, but to later take on such a bad ass fighting man persona as Nugent has done invokes animosity by not only the people who lost loved ones, but those who were 'walking the walk' in Vietnam. Ted just needs to know when to shut the fuck up.
Amen to you my friend...Ted is a wonderful giving caring human being who doesn't take any shit from lying liberals. Truth hurts liberals. They hate facts. They are dumfounded by them.
***** Such an odd name when you project the opposite of the great Lincoln. Lie #1 Ted wasn't a draft dodger. If he truly was don't you think his critics would show proof? Deferment was legal.Lie #2 Not a pedophile. 17 years 9 months at the time. Legally singed by her parents. This fine lady raised Teds 2 children! They love her to this day! Read the court transcripts of Teds ignorance of the law. There was no bear baiting! LOL. Libs hate facts, but love to hate. If you hate Ted so much why do you put yourself thru the torture of watching him on youtube? LOL!! Silly you.

Just stop the FAKE NEWS already. We all know Trump wanted to serve and tried several times to sign up but he had debilitating bone spurs. "It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider” Trump elaborated on the fact in the interview, calling women’s vaginas “potential landmines” and saying “there’s some real danger there.” “You know, if you’re young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam, we have our own Vietnam - it’s called the dating game,” Trump said to Stern in a 1993 interview. “Dating is like being in Vietnam. You’re the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam.” So now you know what a real HERO Trump is.
I wasn't talking about Trump.....I was talking about hypocrites who point their fingers at people who didn't serve, when in fact they never served themselves.....
fasteddie4145 TRUMP AND TED ARE THE GREATEST AMERICAN HEROES OF ALL TIME ! THE HAVE BLED FOR THE USA ! THEY ARE SERVING NOW ! LOOK AT TEDS CZcams CHANNEL AND TRUMPS TWITTER ! WHO SACRIFICES LIKE THESE GUYS ARE DOING???
He made those statements to the Detroit Free Press on July 15, 1990. It may have been in High Times too. If it wasn't true why didn't he sue them for liable?
He couldnt handle being told what to do. no way. he would have gotten into it with his drill sargent and ended up on his ass cause he cant fight to save his life he can only pull triggers. He knows that, so he played the game and got out. ...
National Cancer Institute : The cost of cancer in the year 2020 in the U.S. is projected to reach at least $158 billion (in 2010 dollars). Assuming a 2% annual increase in medical costs in the initial and final phases of care, the projected 2020 costs increase to $173 billion. Estimating a 5% annual increase in these costs raises the projection to $207 billion. These figures do not include other types of costs, such as lost productivity, which add to the overall financial burden of cancer.
You could say the same about men who had a wife and kids. Sure they could have volunteered, but they were needed at home.. it's just a valid excuse for not fighting. Millions of sham weddings existed in the 60s.
rstyree ...YET DUMBSHIT WORDS FROM A libTURD that has absolutely NO "FACTS" to back their shit... If you have any, then bring them on or STFU!! Ya know, I used to think it was.. 1- Physically 2- Mentally and 3- Medically Impossible for a human to live without a BRAIN, but lubTURDS like YOU are proving me WRONG!!!
It's all smoke and mirrors.....he's the worst kind of hypocrite..... he was deferred as a mental case...he now claims he was kidding about it in other interviews, but never admitted "kidding" about it until he was called out on it....As a former Veteran, I find him disgusting.....especially now, since he calls himself a patriot, He is the epitome of a traitor.
No one should have expected Ted to drop out of school to be drafted.Especially considering the fact that the military gave him a 1-Y and decided to not take him.It would have delayed his schooling and for no good reason.
Nugent had three classifications; 1/He originally had a school deferment, as he said, but 2/ Contrary to his claim , he later is in the army records as failing his physical. However, he was 1-Y, not 4-F, which means "not now, but still eligible in wartime". (I guess Vietnam wasn't declared?) 1-Y doesn't indicate that he did anything insane. 3/1-Y was later discontinued, and he was reclassified 4-F, but he never was examined again for this change, so it's unlikely that he had done anything very weird for the 1-Y he got after his only exam.
finally someone that actually has a mind and believes he didnt shit himself had to scroll through at least 10 pages of "shit his pants" comments to get here i dont believe he did anything to get out of the draft there were plenty of men back then of age that didnt get drafted and i think your right in the number lottery
Ted didn't have to volunteer he was drafted right after school.He went in for his physical and they sent him home and never called him back.He was already in the system and they had him go home and wait.I doubt he could have forced the military to take him.
"Go die for your government..... I mean country." Nothing is worth dying over, life is much more precious than any political dispute. I want no one to die.
It is amusing he tries so hard to deny it, when more then one close person to him says that he did these crazy things, to avoid Vietnam. Since I was against the US war; being East German born in Dresden 1944; I do not blame those who did not fight; however, Nuggent was not a "consciousness objector" (American term). Ted supports war and violence, just as long as he is safe in America.
John Fogerty also got a deferment from the draft, he stated in the Creedence biography that immediately after he found out he got the deferment he sat down and wrote proud mary. I don't see too many folks griping about him having not served. What the hell does any of have to do with anything anyway.
Hendrix got into trouble with the law twice for riding in stolen cars. He was given a choice between spending two years in prison or joining the Army. Hendrix chose the latter and enlisted on May 31, 1961. After completing basic training at Fort Ord near Monterey in California, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. His commanding officers and fellow soldiers considered him to be a sub-par soldier.
Excerpt from July 15, 1990 Detroit Free Press Magazine cover article entitled “Ted Nugent Grows Up?" "Nugent says his blood runs red, white, Reagan and Bush, and if they had a war - a real war- he would fight his way to the front line. He was proud to play the national anthem before a Detroit Pistons-Chicago Bulls Eastern Conference championship game."
The only way to verify anything is to have FACTS. Most of the documents that were used during the 60's Draft Deferments have been destroyed. Using FACT check they come up with a 4 out of 10 regarding this issue which means that he more than likely did dodge the draft. Unlike myself who volunteered in '65 I have a DD-214 which proves that I put in 4 years. There is no documentation to prove him one way or the other, but his body language and ineptness in describing the situation speaks volumes. The way to really prove it is to have some people come forward who knew him during that period. Now, also keep in mind that more than one well known person received deferments like Cheney for school, Biden for Asthma, Clinton for school, Trump for heal spurs (5 times) and others. It was an era when some men would do anything to avoid it. There are posers of every kind out here today. Even people who call themselves Patriots because they drove by a recruiting station. Bottom Line: Ted Nugent never served a day in the military whether he was a Draft Dodger or not and doesn't belong to the Brotherhood one way or the other and doesn't Donald Trump being Commander in Chief or not being the Commander in Chief. I just hope he doesn't qualify to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery and embarrass us all.
Like he was the ONLY ONE?!? My dad could be considered a "draft dodger" if people reached enough (which is very common these days). He was good friends with a now famous actor with the initials K.R. back in highschool. When they graduated, K.R.'s dad knew a guy at the National Guard. So him and K.R. and a few other of their friends were magically accepted. His service included playing baseball with prisoners at a local state prison, and other menial things. He did it because he didn't want to go to Vietnam, obviously. (Turns out he wouldn't have been drafted anyways, because he was a "last living son in a family" but he didn't know that at the time.) I'm thankful for those who did serve and do serve today! I really am! And have a huge amount of respect for our military. My brother served in the marines, along with my cousin. But, during the Vietnam War, can you blame some guys for NOT WANTING to go? Seeing how vets were being treated when they got home, IF they got home, was horrendous! The government did NOTHING to help those who served, and even our own citizens turned on vets who DID CHOOSE to go. I don't think it's fair to judge, especially when you weren't even alive back then to experience what was going on in our country. But that's just me. ✌
No one blames anyone for not wanting to go. The problem with Ted is that he became such a right wing cheerleader for any military adventures that the US engaged in in the Middle East, so basically he was cheering on a new generation to do what he was too afraid to do.
As a veteran I have to say, you have no clue what you are saying "most of the young men who enter come back home because training is too intense" actually just a few "come back home". When I went through basic training I could count on one hand the number of guys that went home out of a entire company (about 200+ troops).
If Nugent is truly as brave and macho as he claims to be, why did he even WAIT to get drafted? With all his bravado he should of volunteered!
What's "macho" about killing people?

+Dan Bertucci His government file on his draft rating states.
Theodore Anthony Nugent first received a high school 1-S deferment in February 1967, when he was 18. After briefly being reclassified as available for service, Nugent got a 2-S college deferment when he enrolled in Oakland Community College in Michigan.In August 1969, Nugent took his draft physical and was rejected for service. He was classified as 1-Y, indicating that he was qualified for service only in time of a national emergency. The 1-Y classification was usually issued to candidates saddled with significant medical or mental issues.
So if what High Times said was a lie, why didn't he sue for wrongful enrichment or libel?

You have an entire country of leftist idiots that don't understand war is sometimes necessary then you have the other side of the coin. The right wing extremists who puff up their chest about war and have never served, got deferments, or had their parents pull strings to get them out of dangerous duty.
There's too much hypocrisy in US politics.
Dan Bertucci I dont stand on hypocrisy. I have my skeletons just like everyone but my lifestyle today as opposed to then isn't conducive to calling me a hypocrite.
I was a red conservative then and I'm a red conservative today.
The three greatest US president in the last century have been Nixon, FDR and Eisenhower if that explains my politics.
+rrtodd95 Four worst presidents in the last century includes the democrat FDR.
+Dan Bertucci He's no better than Clinton fleeing the country to avoid the draft or Bush Jr. having dad pulls strings. But at least Jr. served his country.
+Dan Bertucci he learned to fly outdated planes that were not being used in Vietnam. It was a rich boys club to even get in the Guard at the time. Chickenhawk Bush
I looked this up on snopes, undetermined, I believe he did shit his pants AND a major liar. If he didn't start the shit story why would anyone else?
Numbnut, He explained it. He DID start the story. He was screwing with some people, and someone wrote it down. If you're basing all your information on an article in "High Times", you've got some serious issues.
N1095A LOL If you're basing all your information on what comes out of Nugent's mouth -- you've got to be seriously confused by now. The man can't stick to one story. The only thing that remains constant are the details of what he did to avoid the draft - just as they were outlined in the High Times article.
Feb Thirteen I know right? You literally can not make up something like this.
such a try-hard. that last comment. so bad...
He knows he dogged the draft. He knows those words came out of his mouth "I'm not going" or something like that. He knows he dogged the draft on purpose
Sure.
And I don’t blame him. I would’ve avoided it if I were in that situation.
The problem with Nugent is that he later became such a cheerleader for our military adventures; something that he avoided participating in when it was his time to do so. Hypocrite.
It will never stop cracking me up how the supposedly "anti-imperialist" left likes to mock Ted Nugent for NOT going overseas to kill Asian people in an unnecessary war. Liberals: the ultimate useful idiots for the military industrial complex.
Imagine that, another "tough guy" that had a deferment.
His "determent" was that he was 4F, unqualified for military service.

With Ted Nugent's knowledge of firearms and the love his country, I can't understand why Ted didn't join the armed forces.
rohag735D because he is a coward! He only shoots things that don’t shoot back! Everyone loves to praise him as an outspoken, brave man yet he’s only brave when it’s not his neck on the line!

***** Well you spent four years more than Nugent.
***** My cousin went to Viet Nam while this asshole made $$$$ and dodged the draft. He is a chicken hawk coward.
lot easier to kill a defenseless animal, aye ted rather than "bad guys"
In the middle of his touring with his band Ted signed up for Jr. College to get his deferment. Before he hit 21 he abandoned two children to Catholic Charities. Later married and once again touring he left his wife and kids home alone. Despondent she got in a car intoxicated and killed herself. He backdoored his current wife Shemane impregnating some fan on the road where a Judge had to force him into paying child support. This guy has had an ongoing love affair with himself...a horrible example of a human being.
He is possessed with demons. And killing animals is his hateful way of showing evil.
Ted has told the story of not showering, feigning mental health issues & even claiming he enrolled in college, (yet toured with his band) during several interviews back in the 70's. It wasn't until he starting getting called out on his "pro-war/I would have kicked ass in Nam" comments that he started to deny this, claiming, "no I just had a high draft number". It wasn't just one isolated interview. He's a bit like Romney, Chaney, Rumsfield Bush & the others, they agreed with the Vietnam war & the draft, they just didn't think they should have to go & because of their family's power/connection/cash (& Ted excuses) they got a bunch of deferments & really high draft #. There's even video/photos of Romney actually making fun of anti-war/draft protestors. No offence, but it's one thing to be a conscientious objector & quite another to be pro-war/draft when you know the draft won't affect you.
Liars and hypocrites , but we already knew that . Each day just reveals more low crawling behavior , and when facts come out , they supply new and more unlikely sounding lies . The flag they wave is just a prop to them , cover for one more scam .
he could submit his selective service summary page, and the controversy would be over
Exactly! Let's see the paperwork Tedophile. But, he won't because the paperwork will only confirm that he's a draft dodging coward..
Another "conservative" who did not serve.
They "talk the talk" but NEVER "walk the walk" NEVER!
Joe Biden was 'exempted' from the Vietnam draft.. what do you have to say about that?
does he go around talking the talk warhawk like?
Moron. He wasn't called.
Doesn't this guy believe in personal liberty above all, and oppose the overreach of big government?
Why is he saying he would have gone to war if the government told him to?
Unconvincing, Ted.
He makes war such a fun joke. It's a smokescreen.
Indeed
yeah coward animal killer

@@RobertJamesChinneryH he eats what he kills...can you say that pussy boy?
Three-chord Teddy is a real tough guy now that the war is over and he's too old to serve. Nobody stopped him from volunteering if he was so patriotic.

This is not a man that deals with others honestly. We get what we deserve by listening to him.
Let's not forget that this (true patriot) could have always volunteered

I guess he really set the record straight with this coherent, articulate response. I take pride in veterans like Ted Nugent who served in the military and received medals for their servic- haha I can't do this anymore. He is a chicken hawk, I mean chicken shit for wishing he would have gone to Vietnam to kill a bunch of guys if he had been drafted. "Draft dodger" seems to upset politically correct conservatives, so the fact is this -- he had an opportunity to serve his country and didn't. If I interviewed him, I would ask "Why didn't you enlist?"
He didn't enlist cause he had the chance to tour and play his beloved music. Pretty easy decision. He has more than made up for his lack of service by giving of his time and money to the wonderful warriors of the US military! Case closed you shameful liberal...
spinemelter2000 Indeed.....who can blame him for not wanting any part of those highly dangerous jungle combat missions, while you can fuck any groupie in the neighbourhood, wile playing your precious music ?
But he should shut his snout now,and save his ammunition for the local wildlife.....
Mamie Palmer That seems a bit the same as those medieval church pay-offs to get into 'heaven'.
This dude in his camouflage atire doing a bit of dollar collecting for vets seems highly opportunistic .it wouldn't be so if he wasn't such a loudmouth about it. Typical case of "patriotism"..."the last refuge of the scoundrell"...
He should save his ammunition for the local wildlife...
Nugent claims to be a Patriot, but he didn't serve. That is the issue. He says in this video that he wishes he could have served to go kill some bad guys. Well then Jackass - Why didn't you serve? Cause you are a chicken. You run around professing your chicken hawk attitude but you didn't serve. Love your music and keep it up, but when it comes to politics do what you did during the Vietnam war and keep you head down. BTW - Vietnam Vet - 68-69 101st Airborne.
Bob Hermann Wrong Bob. . . I'm a Patriot and I stayed out of Nam because I'm smart enough to know that for the last hundred years foolish kids let themselves be used by the Globalists in their psychotic game of domination and control by enlisting. You took their bait hook line and sinker - and the worst part is that you have had 50 years and you still haven't figured it out. Study Major General Smedley Butler USMC before you respond to this for best results.
Bob Hermann, THANK YOU for your service!!! Welcome home.
'67 Ted was 1-y (?)
Thanks for service and well said. Now he walks around saying he would do anything for his country but wont run for office because he loves his music more . Just sits on the side lines complaining about what politicians should be doing
You're a coward then. Nobody would call u a patriot. Draft dogging bum. Get out of my country
For someone who gets off on mindless killing like he does, you'd think he'd have volunteered for the Army, or to be a Marine sniper.
No, wait. Unlike trophy animals, people shoot back and cowards can't handle that.
Exact explanation I also have of him. There's a demon in him.
Isn't he suppose to dead or in jail???? What happened to that????
"Suppose to dead"? What are you attempting to say?
If he wasn't dodging the draft, why didn't he stay in school and finish his education? Seems pretty clear that Community College was just long enough to keep him out of serving his country and that he had no serious educational ambitions.
A deferment is still an effort to avoid military service.
Reminds me of a local talk show host who was a typical right winger. When talking with a Vietnam Vet he thanked him for his service and then said "I wanted to go but I had a high lottery number." Apparently he never heard of enlistment.
Same thing with Ted. He could’ve joined at any time. But he didn’t.
And then forty years later, he was one of the biggest cheerleaders for our military adventures in the Middle East.
@@geraldobrien7323 Never mind Ted. Tell us how you enlisted during wartime.
@@douglascrouse8793 Never did. But I was never a hypocrite. I never cheered on any war, and I never put down people who protested against any war.
And if you actually read and understood the point of my comment, you wouldn’t be asking such a question.
Chicken Hawk
@walker jfs STILL A SHITY PANTS CHICKEN HAWK!! the only thing he shoots is things that don't shoot back. He's also narcissistic prick that can't play national anthem to save his life with just enough talent to make record and the only people that go to his concerts are right wing uneducated Hillbillies
@walker jfs My grandfather was navy diver during ww2 and saved lots of lives and I would of done the same if I was old enough. You have Plenty of right so don't be paranoid about the left taking them away, I'm a British conservative and I'm not scared of the left taking my rights away . And yes if British government called me up I would follow my in my grandfathers footsteps.
If you were accused of being a draft dodger, why oh why would you wear camo day in day out?
To hide the reality that you're a coward?
MORE ORNERY MULES The man's an idiot.
I resemble that remark.
amzuel420
Ted has been hiding his whole life.
amzuel420
Ted has always been a asshole. Back in the late 60's and early 70's those that knew him only have bad things to say about him. He was cheap, narcissistic in the extreme and a cheat who used and abused his heavy rotation of band mates.
To make matter worse Ted hid in a Community College for five full years hiding from military service. Yet no degree after five years?
Not one photo of him waving our flag back then.
As a citizen we all have a right to file as a contentious objector. Many great things came from allowing that possibility. Its not dodging, its refusing yet not running from the ramifications of making that choice.
Same with Trump. Several school deferments then he paid a corrupt doctor for his "Bone Spurs" excuse while still participating in athletics.
True. As long as you were a full time college student carrying a full load of classes you could get a deferrment for 4 years to graduation. AND they also held a draft lottery in 1968. Your birthday got you a "random" number from 1 to 365. Many of my college buddies got high numbers that virtually guaranteed they would never be called up by the draft. They could relax. I got number 54, which sucked. My roomate got 286 which was a free pass. That's how it was back then.
This man is a coward, but I will give him props for not running to the hospital when he got COVID
Romney dodged the draft by fleeing the country.
a coward wearing camo!
You’re a b! tch behind a screen.
@walker jfs So your argument is others did it so its all right. Nugent is an asshole period,
@@ddog-le9fi coward how?
Ted, what's with the story changing from year to year? What was the 4-F for, a mental or physical impairment?
Why didn't he volunteer instead of waiting to be called?
"Oh, wait! People have dug up the article! Shxx! OK, gotta go into revisionist history mode! Hey, Donald, what do you need to do when you need to gaslight people?"
Years later and the Nuge , now an ultra conservative with a gun fetish, has egg on his face for skipping out on military service.
Watch Nugents home video taken with his iphone, talking about Trumps victory. Nauseating.
He's just about topped himself as far as cringe worthiness goes with that one.
He tries to over explain his reasons and tries to get interviewer to laugh when it's obvious he is lying.
The cowardl even enrolled in a community College several times to avoid the war even thou he didn't attend classes
sounds based fuck the zog
Ted, If you were lying then instead of now, please explain how you got your 4F draft classification. 1Y is for those who can be called up in case of national emergency. 4F is for those deemed "unsuitable for military service". Also, you do have the right to remain silent, but you seem to lack the ability to remain silent.
Umm, I think he shit his pants to get out of the draft
He talks all tough and waves the flag but when his turn came to serve the country he hides. Needs to keep his big mouth shut!
his favorite sport, dodge ball.
After shit I and others in my battery saw on deployment I can't blame people for not signing up. Vietnam was almost universally unpopular so I really don't blame people for not fighting if they didn't have to then.
he was scared shitless
How many famous musicians volunteered for Vietnam or the current war on terror?Very few.Some people don't like Ted because of his hunting or support of gun rights but most people have accepted it.About 16 years ago Ted had a radio show that I listened to.On that show he talked about the other issues he supported.Some of those were gay rights,medical marijuana/industrial hemp,assisted suicide, and many others.The hate for Ted has increased 10x what it was before he talked about these issues.
This man... and I use the term loosely... is WAY too confident in his acting skills.
so obvious he had to self censor himself and say "bad guys" instead of what he was really thinking.
Liar, liar pants on fire; oops pants full of $hit....
+oliverheidelberg : He sure is a piece of lying crap. Big Mouth no guts.
+terry b why dont you go see him and see how much guts you dont have
I'd meet that draft dodging coward anywhere anywhere,
Better bring his security guards with, cause I hate big mouth cowards. Anytime teddy.
because nugent talks tough about being a warrior and how he would gladly fight the "bad" guys
Who is this old crazy geezer?
Nobody important. Just a loudmouth hypocrite.
Just listen to what TRUMP says on TWITTER. Thats all you need to know.
That's not the point. He's telling other people to send their kids war now.
Ted has a sense of humor & likes to fuk with people. So he didn't serve. Some did and some didn't... so what. I get tired of some of the people who served in the military thinking they are better than everyone else. I honestly appreciate their service, but that is only a part of what & who they are - period. It doesn't give them a life pass to think they are better than everyone else. Some veterans are good people & some are a-holes just like cops, fireman, teachers, plumbers etc. Nugent has raised MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars and given of his own personal time and treasure to honor & support our veterans & he is a tireless supporter of our Constitution. That makes him OK in my book & if you have a different opinion you are entitled to it, but remember this - it doesn't make YOUR OPINION any more right than mine or the local butchers. Opinions are like spincters... everyone has one. I like Ted's music and his politics and his charitable nature. What have YOU done for others lately? In conclusion PANTS UP DON'T LOOT! & support the NYPD! Also, fuk de Blasio and every other liberal piece of trash in America & the rest of the world. Have a nice day.
Ted is a narcissist and a seller of wolf tickets. Bottom line he plays the tough guy roll, but without his weapons he's probably a coward. Many people lost loved ones in the war, me included and I can well understand their animosity for someone who pulled such a stint to avoid the draft.
Of course I can't blame anyone for trying to avoid that war, but to later take on such a bad ass fighting man persona as Nugent has done invokes animosity by not only the people who lost loved ones, but those who were 'walking the walk' in Vietnam.
Ted just needs to know when to shut the fuck up.
Amen to you my friend...Ted is a wonderful giving caring human being who doesn't take any shit from lying liberals. Truth hurts liberals. They hate facts. They are dumfounded by them.
***** Such an odd name when you project the opposite of the great Lincoln. Lie #1 Ted wasn't a draft dodger. If he truly was don't you think his critics would show proof? Deferment was legal.Lie #2 Not a pedophile. 17 years 9 months at the time. Legally singed by her parents. This fine lady raised Teds 2 children! They love her to this day! Read the court transcripts of Teds ignorance of the law. There was no bear baiting! LOL. Libs hate facts, but love to hate. If you hate Ted so much why do you put yourself thru the torture of watching him on youtube? LOL!! Silly you.
Bob Kerry a democrat liberal went to Vietnam as Navy Seal won the Medal of Honor, John Kerry Silver star and purple hearts. Jim Webb USMC the Navy Cross, Max Cleveland another democrat lost multiple limbs won silver star and bronze star, purple hearts. dick cheney, wayne lapierre, ted nugent, rudy guiliani, Donald trump, bill oreilly all republicans and all chicken hawk draft dodgers, cheney 5 times.
Both Kerry's Mr. Webb, and Max Cleveland are wonderful brave men. No doubt. God bless them for their great service. I 2nd your recognition of these fine men. Other great men were, G. Washington, US Grant, Pres. Eisenhower, G. HW Bush, Audie Murphy, Gen Patton, Sen. McCain, Col. Allen West, and Chris Kyle. True warriors of the US Military. People like Ted, Giuliani, O'Reilly, Cheney, and Trump couldn't hold all the above men's jockstraps!! Hope we can finally agree. I respect your opinion Abe. Have a great day...
I'm always amazed that people who never served care so much about other people that never served......
Just stop the FAKE NEWS already. We all know Trump wanted to serve and tried several times to sign up but he had debilitating bone spurs.
"It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider”
Trump elaborated on the fact in the interview, calling women’s vaginas “potential landmines” and saying “there’s some real danger there.”
“You know, if you’re young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam, we have our own Vietnam - it’s called the dating game,” Trump said to Stern in a 1993 interview.
“Dating is like being in Vietnam. You’re the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam.”
So now you know what a real HERO Trump is.
I wasn't talking about Trump.....I was talking about hypocrites who point their fingers at people who didn't serve, when in fact they never served themselves.....

TRUMP AND TED ARE THE GREATEST AMERICAN HEROES OF ALL TIME !

Turd Nugent. Thats his real name. :D
Yeah, right. He's such a coward hiding behind his guns. Take his guns away and he's got nothing.
He looks and sounds untrustworthy.
Draft dodging is exceptionally based.
Observe the tone, facial expressions and body movements of a liar.
He made those statements to the Detroit Free Press on July 15, 1990. It may have been in High Times too. If it wasn't true why didn't he sue them for liable?
Ted Nugent = Chicken Hawk
He couldnt handle being told what to do. no way. he would have gotten into it with his drill sargent and ended up on his ass cause he cant fight to save his life he can only pull triggers. He knows that, so he played the game and got out. ...
Here we have a great American hero giving us the truth ! Ted knows alternative facts work !
National Cancer Institute : The cost of cancer in the year 2020 in the U.S. is projected to reach at least $158 billion (in 2010 dollars). Assuming a 2% annual increase in medical costs in the initial and final phases of care, the projected 2020 costs increase to $173 billion. Estimating a 5% annual increase in these costs raises the projection to $207 billion. These figures do not include other types of costs, such as lost productivity, which add to the overall financial burden of cancer.
Of course the loudmouthed chickenhawk didn't volunteer and enlist.
did you?
will smith thanks for your service first , and I didn’t volunteer or enlist so does that make me a coward... lol
You could say the same about men who had a wife and kids. Sure they could have volunteered, but they were needed at home.. it's just a valid excuse for not fighting. Millions of sham weddings existed in the 60s.
ted i am with you gee i was in school at the time ..my number was not picked,, god bless you
He sure didn't volunteer to go "kill bad guys".
I love this guy!
you'll find that all cowards have a general propensity towards animal abuse.
Lol draft dodger
rstyree ...YET DUMBSHIT WORDS FROM A libTURD that has absolutely NO "FACTS" to back their shit...
If you have any, then bring them on or STFU!!
Ya know, I used to think it was..
1- Physically
2- Mentally and
3- Medically
Impossible for a human to live without a BRAIN, but lubTURDS like YOU are proving me WRONG!!!
It's all smoke and mirrors.....he's the worst kind of hypocrite..... he was deferred as a mental case...he now claims he was kidding about it in other interviews, but never admitted "kidding" about it until he was called out on it....As a former Veteran, I find him disgusting.....especially now, since he calls himself a patriot, He is the epitome of a traitor.
No one should have expected Ted to drop out of school to be drafted.Especially considering the fact that the military gave him a 1-Y and decided to not take him.It would have delayed his schooling and for no good reason.
I totally agree you, but I'm asking why he didn't volunteer if he is and was pro-government agenda. He sounds very tough now that he is older.
Nugent had three classifications; 1/He originally had a school deferment, as he said, but 2/ Contrary to his claim , he later is in the army records as failing his physical. However, he was 1-Y, not 4-F, which means "not now, but still eligible in wartime". (I guess Vietnam wasn't declared?) 1-Y doesn't indicate that he did anything insane. 3/1-Y was later discontinued, and he was reclassified 4-F, but he never was examined again for this change, so it's unlikely that he had done anything very weird for the 1-Y he got after his only exam.
finally someone that actually has a mind and believes he didnt shit himself had to scroll through at least 10 pages of "shit his pants" comments to get here i dont believe he did anything to get out of the draft there were plenty of men back then of age that didnt get drafted and i think your right in the number lottery
Ted didn't have to volunteer he was drafted right after school.He went in for his physical and they sent him home and never called him back.He was already in the system and they had him go home and wait.I doubt he could have forced the military to take him.
Uncle Teddy so fearful of carrying a gun into combat crapped in his pants for a week before showing up at the draft board.
"Go die for your government..... I mean country." Nothing is worth dying over, life is much more precious than any political dispute. I want no one to die.
It is amusing he tries so hard to deny it, when more then one close person to him says that he did these crazy things, to avoid Vietnam. Since I was against the US war; being East German born in Dresden 1944; I do not blame those who did not fight; however, Nuggent was not a "consciousness objector" (American term). Ted supports war and violence, just as long as he is safe in America.
John Fogerty also got a deferment from the draft, he stated in the Creedence biography that immediately after he found out he got the deferment he sat down and wrote proud mary. I don't see too many folks griping about him having not served. What the hell does any of have to do with anything anyway.
That AFFF's, guy who classified TED, as "Mental" SPOT-ON".
He Admitted back in 2012 and 6 years later in Joe Rogans Podcast he didn't admitted it.
"His last examination in 1972 designated him 4-F, lending credence to the evasion story."
You left that part out...
And that he was mentally or morally unfit for military service.
Hendrix got into trouble with the law twice for riding in stolen cars. He was given a choice between spending two years in prison or joining the Army. Hendrix chose the latter and enlisted on May 31, 1961. After completing basic training at Fort Ord near Monterey in California, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. His commanding officers and fellow soldiers considered him to be a sub-par soldier.
And……….?
Excerpt from July 15, 1990 Detroit Free Press Magazine cover article entitled “Ted Nugent Grows Up?"
"Nugent says his blood runs red, white, Reagan and Bush, and if they had a war - a real war- he would fight his way to the front line. He was proud to play the national anthem before a Detroit Pistons-Chicago Bulls Eastern Conference championship game."
He's not lying he's just not giving the whole story.He had 2 deferments,1-Y medical and 2-S student.
I used the same excuses when I was a child and had to back peddle my way out of something I said
The only way to verify anything is to have FACTS. Most of the documents that were used during the 60's Draft Deferments have been destroyed. Using FACT check they come up with a 4 out of 10 regarding this issue which means that he more than likely did dodge the draft. Unlike myself who volunteered in '65 I have a DD-214 which proves that I put in 4 years. There is no documentation to prove him one way or the other, but his body language and ineptness in describing the situation speaks volumes. The way to really prove it is to have some people come forward who knew him during that period. Now, also keep in mind that more than one well known person received deferments like Cheney for school, Biden for Asthma, Clinton for school, Trump for heal spurs (5 times) and others. It was an era when some men would do anything to avoid it. There are posers of every kind out here today. Even people who call themselves Patriots because they drove by a recruiting station. Bottom Line: Ted Nugent never served a day in the military whether he was a Draft Dodger or not and doesn't belong to the Brotherhood one way or the other and doesn't Donald Trump being Commander in Chief or not being the Commander in Chief. I just hope he doesn't qualify to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery and embarrass us all.
it was not a war by the Constitution. Congress declared war. They authorized force.
he said why at :21 seconds in.
Like he was the ONLY ONE?!? My dad could be considered a "draft dodger" if people reached enough (which is very common these days). He was good friends with a now famous actor with the initials K.R. back in highschool. When they graduated, K.R.'s dad knew a guy at the National Guard. So him and K.R. and a few other of their friends were magically accepted. His service included playing baseball with prisoners at a local state prison, and other menial things. He did it because he didn't want to go to Vietnam, obviously. (Turns out he wouldn't have been drafted anyways, because he was a "last living son in a family" but he didn't know that at the time.) I'm thankful for those who did serve and do serve today! I really am! And have a huge amount of respect for our military. My brother served in the marines, along with my cousin. But, during the Vietnam War, can you blame some guys for NOT WANTING to go? Seeing how vets were being treated when they got home, IF they got home, was horrendous! The government did NOTHING to help those who served, and even our own citizens turned on vets who DID CHOOSE to go. I don't think it's fair to judge, especially when you weren't even alive back then to experience what was going on in our country. But that's just me. ✌
No one blames anyone for not wanting to go. The problem with Ted is that he became such a right wing cheerleader for any military adventures that the US engaged in in the Middle East, so basically he was cheering on a new generation to do what he was too afraid to do.
As a veteran I have to say, you have no clue what you are saying "most of the young men who enter come back home because training is too intense" actually just a few "come back home". When I went through basic training I could count on one hand the number of guys that went home out of a entire company (about 200+ troops).
