Read the following regarding Ted and the draft. It includes a link to an image of a letter written in the man’s own hand.

...He has the rage, but he doesn't have the war record. At 18, he was called up to serve in Vietnam. "In 1977 you gave an interview to High Times [the cannabis user's journal of record] where you claimed you defecated in your clothes to avoid the draft."
("I got 30 days' notice of the physical," Nugent told them. "I ceased cleansing my body. Two weeks before the test I stopped eating food with nutritional value. A week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. My pants got crusted up.")
"I never shit my pants to get out of the draft," says Nugent, good-naturedly.
"You also told them you took crystal meth [methamphetamine, the highly destabilising drug sometimes described as poor man's crack] before the medical - as a result of which, and I quote: 'I got this big juicy 4F.'"
"Unbelievable. Meth," [emphasis mine] he replies, in a tone of deep sarcasm. "Yes, that's my drug of choice. You've got to realise that these interviewers would arrive with glazed eyes and I would make stories up. I never did crystal meth. And I never pooped my pants."
I've included a bit of the before and after interview contents, as it seems, Ted seemed to be sarcastically toying with the interviewer.
Read it for your self and make a judgment based on what appear to be Ted's own (more recent) words here.
A quick note: I can’t see the image in the LiveLeak article, as it’s hosted by an image hosting service that’s blocked on the domain I am using. I guess I’ll defer commenting on that part of the article’s content.
