Folks will believe what they WANT to believe...

When I first heard of the Draft Dodger angle - it bothered me.

I searched the Internet, attempting to find ONE case of where Nugent made an attempt to deny being a Draft Dodger.
He quibbles about the details, but STILL ACKNOWLEDGES he dodged the draft.

Some sources I've found somewhat credible in the past...

Scroll down to the category "military".

I read your links and am no where near convinced. Maybe yes or no but your links didn't advance your case.

Nugent has surely done more for the troops moral than the whiny Debbie Schlussel based on what little of her drivel I could stomach.

I don't have a bone to pick with you and respect you so I will take this under advisement for now.

Thanks and take care,

Now you are quibbling about the accuracy of the sources you are using. Either a source is credible or it's not. Ted admits that he got a student deferment, and he has said he regrets having done so. He said he just didn't realize the necessity of military service when he was younger, and that is one of his motivations for being so pro-military now and why he supports our troops by going and entertaining them now.

Has Ted made mistakes in his past? Absolutely. Have I? Absolutely, and, speaking only for myself, the errors in judgment I made in my past have been the impetus for the changes I have made in my own life (hopefully ones for the better), and I am willing to give a man who stands with our men and women today the benefit of the doubt re his past errors because I feel he has made positive changes in his life also.

One last thing, THANK YOU for your service to our country. From your home page, I gather you are a Vietnam Vet. If so, know that there are some of us who have always believed in our VietVets and that they were used and abused by the country they served so gallantly.
