By now everyone has probably heard the story about how Ted Nugent managed to get out of serving in the Vietnam war, where he literally quit bathing for a week and was urinating and defecating in his pants so the draft board would think he was insane. The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur took not only Nugent to task for his tough talk when it comes to people other than himself going to serve in our military interventions, but his fellow chickenhawks as well.

Uygur did not have any kinder words for Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Tom DeLay or Rush Limbaugh than he did for Nugent and went through the laundry list of deferments and reasons they gave later for why it was acceptable for them to stay at home while other families sent their sons off to fight and die in their place.
