Draft Dodging
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nugent dodged the draft during the Vietnam War. In an interview for the Detroit Free Press (July 15, 1990), Nugent described how he avoided the draft: He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with excrement and stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. His quote: “ but if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed, or I'd have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes… I would have killed everybody.”

What a chickenshit son of a bitch.

It's funny how he is so pro-war now, yet when it came time for him to risk his life, he did what i wrote above.

Interesting enough, the few sources that i got this from, don't show this anymore.

He also said, some time later, that he was just kidding, and that he never did that. He's a friggin' idiot and he may have dodged the draft, but it wasn't done that way.

Methinks that short little snippet may qualify as the understatement of the week, eh?
