[Steve Van Doorn]

I don't follow movie stars that much. Maybe he was a lib at the time? I would agree with you if he was talking as a patriot and avoided the draft then he is no patriot.

If he was a stupid lib caught up in the liberal movement then I can understand, don't agree but can understand the change of opinion.

It really doesn't MATTER what he was saying at the time... What DOES matter is that NOW he is the Gung Ho asskicking warrior - frequently seen wearing military attire and posing as macho man....

He AVOIDED HIS RESPONSIBILITY..
He avoided service with a lie and a scam....
He was too busy making money or protecting his yellow ass.

If he was a conscientious objector - that would be different..
I served with men who opposed violence against humans - but believed they should serve their country in time of war..
One of the finest Corpsman I ever met was a conscientious objector - but as a Navy Corpsman who volunteered to serve with Marines in Vietnam.

He was one of the bravest men I ever saw...
Moving throughout every firefight without a weapon....
Saving lives or giving final comfort to those who were dying.

Big bad Ted Nugent would amount to more than a pimple on that man's ass.
