Draft evaders included people of conscience--something Nugent lacks.

'Chickenhawk' better describes this warmongering POS who's all for OTHER mothers' sons and daughters going into combat and dying and being maimed as long as he doesn't have to risk one fingernail of his manicured hand.

there's nothing wrong with wanting to avoid war - there is EVERYTHING WRONG with avoiding war while pimping it for others

But there is overlap between the NRA and hard-right Republicans, who tend to be evangelical-type Christians. That they would overlook his personal moral foibles, that they would excoriate if he happened to be anti-gun or left wing, shows significant cognitive dissonance.

Basically they pick and choose based on very loose criteria, but pretend that certain things are super-important, but in different ways for different people at different times.
