Did Ted Nugent dodge the draft?
score:14
Accepted answer
Ted Nugent registered for the draft, showed up to his physical, did not go to Canada, but was classified 4F. So as someone who was around during Vietnam, I would maintain he is not a draft dodger.
However, by his own admission in 1977, Nugent worked hard to get his 4F rating. He faked symptoms, didn't wash, and starved himself. (In a latter interview he refuted this admission)
If he did what he said he did in the first interview with "High Times Magazine in 1977", some folks might call that draft dodging.. I wouldn't.. but nor would I call it honorable.
In the 1960's I might call it common, as many disagreed with the war and actively tried to avoid the draft. The most ambitious where those who did not register, did not report, and even fled to Canada.. ( Carter would grant these men amnesty in the 1970's)... I call those pardoned men draft dodgers and Nugent wasn't one.
