Every account of the tactic Nugent is supposed to have used to dodge the draft has listed him as the source. And I have never seen anything to indicate that Nugent himself has ever denied it. It's probably true.
See my post #37. I don't know how any crystal clearer it can get.
"TED NUGENT RESPONDS OP-ED COLUMN WAS VICIOUS ATTACK ON MY CHARACTER THE SEATTLE TIMES March 24, 1991
“My hunting message is even simpler. I deeply respect God’s creations, and value his design and my participation in it. The only thing true in Bowman’s attack is that I have no use for anybody who treats animals as equal citizens of the planet. I eat animals, but never people. This is the main thrust of Bowman and his cultist animal clan. Animals as citizens? That is preposterous, and what separates moral fibre from hypocrisy.
Reciting a fictitious story from the hippies at Rolling Stone about how I got out of the draft is another example. I had a 1-Y student deferment, for the record.”
