The source of the Nugent draft dodging is Ted himself, in a Creem magazine interview years ago. Ted was being interviewed by a leftist hippie named Lester Bangers and Ted made a story up about how he did some unspeakable things to himself to avoid the draft. As with 80% of the things Nugent says, it was a complete fabrication designed to play around with someone's head. He has emphatically denied the story's veracity, while still owning up to telling it.

As for Toby Keith smoking pot, that's probably one of the better non sequiturs I've seen here. Who cares?

According to an article on Nugent's own site, he had an "education deferment." Although he only went to college for one year (and didn't buy any books).

Q: Ted Nugent Served in Vietnam? A: False. For all his right wing rhetoric and tough talk during the Gulf War, Terrible Ted was a yellow-livered draft dodger. In fact Ted went to great lengths to fail his army physical. He fasted for a week and drank pot after pot of coffee to drive up his blood pressure. He didn't bathe for weeks and showed up with a turd in his pants and another in his hair. Uncle Sam found Ted unfit for military service. Wouldn't have been a cryin' shame if that incredibly talented rocker had died in battle? I think Ted knew that the future of rock depended on him and Vietnam was just too big a risk to take.

As for the pot smoking...If you use drugs, you support the terrorists. (At least that is what the goobermint tells me) I could give a flying f' about anyone smoking pot.
