look how patriotic he is! And how would he know how to salute if he didn't serve?
Don't you just love the Nuge?
Here's a true-blue, red-blooded guy that any patriotic American could really get behind.
Ted Nugent is an avid hunter, a member of the National Rifle Association and hosts two outdoor shows. Every time he takes the stage, Nugent can be seen waving the American flag at his rock concerts. And he's not afraid to say what he thinks.
The Nuge is also a big fan of the current war in Iraq.
In fact, the 57-year-old rocker also "told it like it is" during the Vietnam War. Here's Ted on what he would have done if he went to Vietnam:
"… if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed, or I'd kill all the hippies in the foxholes … I would have killed everybody," he told the Detroit Free Press in an interview published July 15, 1990.
Fortunately, for our hero, Ted didn't go to Vietnam.
And how Ted managed to avoid the draft makes President Bush look like a war hero.
In that 1990 interview with the Free Press and from information collected from the Chickenhawk Web site, Nugent told about how he avoided the draft: "He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment."
It says volumes about the character of a man who calls himself the Motor City Madman. The Detroit native went out of his way to avoid the defining experience of his generation, then has the gall to talk about how eagerly he would have killed, "if" he had served.
Nugent has been a lightning rod of controversy from the beginning of his lame career.
Here are a few choice quotes from Ted over the years:

I'd rather be shot than sit in that for 1 minute, let alone 30 days!!) in his pants for 30 BLOODY DAYS!! Think about how cowardly you have to be in order to sit in that filth just to get out of going overseas to serve your country...THINK ABOUT IT...
