An open letter to Ted Nugent

[11 Bravo]

Dear Ted,
I was suitably impressed by your recent brandishment of a "machine gun" to embellish a few back-handed threats against several Democratic politicians. Damn, we could have used a stud like you in the A Shau back in '70 and '71. God knows, there were times when I looked over my shoulder hoping to see a little outgoing 50 cal, but it's funny, every time I looked, you were never there. Hey, you were probably still busy stateside trying to launder those shit-encrusted jeans you wore down to the draft board.
Trust me, Dude, if crapping your drawers was the intent, based on what I know about you, we could have accomodated you in the first 30 seconds of any of the repeated firefights we engaged in during Operation Lam Son 719 and Operation Texas Star.
I hear you're a big hunter, Teddy. Surely you've heard that man is the ultimate game. Of course, you're probably wired a little differently than I am. You see, Teddy, 35+ years after the fact, I still wake up every now and then haunted by the faces of the two men whom I am certain that I killed. I try not to think about the fact that over my months in the bush there were almost certainly more than two, but these particular NVA grunts were only 50 meters outside our perimeter, and after I lit them up, their comrades were unable to retrieve them. We dragged the bodies in the next morning. I've got no problem with rationalizing that it was me or them, Teddy. But, unlike you and every other chickenhawk drum-pounder I've ever heard of, I refuse to celebrate their deaths.
Now, why don't you piss off and blow up a few more animals on a canned hunt? Maybe that's what you need to get it up with the under-age girls that your own daughters claim you relish. But please remember, you once had a chance to lock and load against someone able to shoot back. You chose to shit yourself instead.

1. Excellent

:patriot:

[sniffa]

2. what? no suck on this?

[stlsaxman]

47. the way i read it the OP was nothing BUT "suck on this"...

only phrased in the most righteous of manners!

[niyad]

3. excellent letter!! that stuff about his pants is true? disgusting!

once again, I would like to thank you for all that you have done, and let you know that I honour your service.

[PurpleChez]

52. That's what I was wondering...

Did the Nuge actually poop in his Levis to get out of Nam? Maybe he and Vitter should get together for some Big Baby diaper shenanigans.

[dbt]

4. Thank you, 11 Bravo!

People like YOU went to Viet Nam (the first one, that is) so that fools like Nugent could run around free in America.

This country can NEVER repay the debt it owes to the Vets of the FIRST Viet Nam!

5. Isn't an "11B"

an Infantryman?

:hi:

[11 Bravo]

9. Yup.

11 Bravo, 11 Bang, or a host of other non-family friendly appelations meant the same thing - combat infantry.

[Joanne98]

6. EXCELLENT!!!!! K&R!

[truebrit71]

7. Nice!!!

Sums it all up rather nicely...

[derby378]

8. He's gonna feel THAT in the morning...

Well done.

[zbdent]

56. no ... he's too chickenshit to muster up a decent response

other that "F*ck off, you commie!"

[cascadiance]

98. Yes, he's the prototypical "Chickenshithawk"!

That term fits him in every way as it will a lot of the other previously described "chickenhawks".

[roguevalley]

10. My words exactly, 11 bravo. By the way, gigantic hugs to you.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

11. Superb.

Thank you Sir!

[wryter2000]

12. Awesome

I never liked him anyway. Bravo to you, 11 Bravo for speaking out!

14. Well Snarly Dick got tired of Canned hunts and turned his gun on Man.

give Ted some more time.

15. I can't rec this enough.

I'd love to hear what chickenhawk Ted has to say.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

16. Impactful! DAYUM!!!

It is so fulfilling to read your whole sense of humanity!!!

Thank you.

22. Thanks, BOSS. A "Well Done" from a Navy Chief, carries a lot of weight ...

at least for this old ground pounder. I will CHARLIE MIKE, Chief.

[AndyA]

19. Smack - slap - thank you, ma'am!

That pretty much says it all.

I never knew why until now, but I've never liked the guy, his music, or his politics. Thanks for bringing it all to a point I was able to grasp.

Negent is just another has been who never really did anything to make him eligible for has been status in the first place.

[XOKCowboy]

20. Excellent letter 11B. Proud to K&R

I can't believe the reich-wing admire this guy. He's now recanted (meaning he's saying he lied about) his feces/urine encrusting incident to dodge the draft and now says his "number was never called" even though he'd have been called up 2 yrs before there was even a lottery. Stupid prick.

Oh and even though I've said this before, thanks again for your service in Vietnam, 11B. I spent my high school years watching guys graduate and immediately get drafted for the war and knowing it'd be the same when I graduated. I was lucky enough to graduate in '72 so I barely missed the draft. I know plenty of guys that are still scarred by that war.

[zabet]

21. Ted, you just got pwned!!!!!!

K and R

[redqueen]

23. Love this!

:applause:

:yourock:

And thank you.

[mr blur]

24. Here's a picture of Ted avoiding the draft in the '60s

Lots of eye make-up, I see. Damn hippies!

[Joanne98]

28. LOL! Here's a picture of Ted Nugent with short hair!

[EnviroBat]

37. OMG!

:rofl:

[Patchuli]

83. Nuh uh, that's that child rapist/murderer

that just got convicted. Can't remember his name. Or don't want to.

I'm sure Nugent does not look much better though...

[PurpleChez]

53. That's scary. He looks like some second-rate zombie

from the Jaycee's Haunted House.

"They're coming to get you, Barbara, they're coming to get you..."

[southpaw]

25. Devaststing!

I really REALLY hope this gets in front of da Nuge!

Excellent work! And thank you for your service, 11 Bravo!

[peace13]

26. Thanks for this.

Praise to you for holding on to the human side of life. My hat is off to you and your comrades. Peace, Kim

[uberllama42]

27. Have you actually sent this letter to him?

I can't believe he has actually bragged about shitting himself to dodge the draft. I always have trouble with the fact that other kids my age are being sent to die in the desert. The college Republican mentality is disgusting- it's okay for some poor kid to get his ass blown off, but I have a future. If I ever want a young conservative to shut up and go away, asking them about their refusal to serve usually does the trick.

Too bad the same probably wouldn't work with Ted Nugent.

[abq e streeter]

29. Once again ,

I find myself humbled by the experiences of a fellow DUer, and then humbled again by their eloquence and humanity in relating those experiences to the rest of us. Thank you.

[BeliQueen]

30. Great Post

Thank you for your service and your humanity.

Peace.

[tabasco]

31. 'probably still busy stateside trying to launder those shit-encrusted jeans"

LMAO!! :rofl:

[callous taoboy]

32. Nugent was screwing a 16 year old

girl I went to high school with. She'd go to Austin when he was in
town and come back with all of the presents he was grooming her with,
photos of the two of them together.

[Joanne98]

54. OMG! Do u have pics?

Cause if u do alot of people want them...

[Perry Logan]

33. Lotta big words, for Ted.

And no pictures. He might have trouble with this.

[malmapus]

34. Well written 11B

Can't imagine how hard it was for you to put some of that out there. Anytime I try to put my experiences, I often just erase the message all together. Still too personal for me I guess.

Here's to you.

:patriot:

[EnviroBat]

35. Hell Yeah Brother!

Excellent post!

[lonestarnot]

36. Bravo 11 Bravo!

K & R to the shitstack!
:applause:

[The Wizard]

38. Assuming the short peckered

Ted has a friend who can read, maybe he can get someone to read your letter to him. If ever anyone was screaming out for Viagra, it was Terrible Ted railing about Obama and Clinton. Nothing wrong with Ted that couldn't be cured by some time in the NDP (night defensive position). As we said back during Tet: There are no tough guys in the NDP.

[loudsue]

39. That was EXCELLENT!

:applause:

:kick::kick::kick:

[Hubert Flottz]

40. The call him ted cause his mommy couldn't spell turd!

He lived up to the name she couldn't spell down at the draft board, because he had a turd in every pocket. His shit was too weak then and it still is! And he could eat peanuts out of a pop bottle with them fangs of his.

I think turd Nerdgent daddy was a great white hunter too!

[Loki]

41. 11 Bravo

That was f'ing awesome!

[pink-o]

42. Oh, Snappp! Hit the hypocrites where they live!

Nice one, 11BVO. (Name Drop alert!) I wish I had your letter to hand to Theodore Nugent when he got on the flight I was boarding a few months ago. Seriously "Theodore" was the name on his ticket! Oh, how scary is that??? Before he handed me said tic, I just thought he was some stupid jerk who either had something in his eye or was trying to flirt very badly with me! And I'm not even underaged--I'm 52! So obviously his sliminess knows no bounds.

Anyway, once I realised who he was, I just smiled brilliant, gave him back his boarding pass and said so only he could hear: "I'm a vegetarian and a proud liberal. You might want to turn that look on someone else who shares more of your --cough-- values." His stare went flat, he snatched his tic from me, and boarding without another word.

So he couldn't even fight back against a girl!

I wouldn't worry about his making good on his threats, man's a wimp of huge proportion. But if I'd known then what he'd said onstage, I might have been even less professional than I was. (We usually don't engage any celebrities or politicians in personal conversation, I just couldn't resist.)

[redqueen]

101. Guys like him and those foul talk show hosts

are too gutless to do anything but incite others to do the horrible things they talk about.

[Ghost in the Machine]

43. Rec #60... Well done, 11Bravo, well done!

[sandyj999]

44. Bravo!!

That idiot is a waste of good oxygen. I'm 71 years old and not afraid of much, but weenies like him scare the crap out of me.

Let's drop him an email or 10 with a link to this post:

Sorry but the only phone number is for his booking agent, Linda Peterson at 517-750-9060 X13, but I'm sure no one would ever think to call her.

Brought to you as a public service so you won't have to actually go to his juvenile, jingoistic site.

75. Hmmmmm Tedquarters even has a message board....

I wonder how good their moderation is? There's a ton of reich-wing jingoistic bs there. You don't think that they delete opposing opinions do ya?

71. Operations Texas Star & Lam Son 719

B Co 1/327th Inf 101st Abn Div. Until recently, little known battle of Viet Nam war. FSB Ripcord was built to support a push into Laos by the 101st, when the NVA realized the intent of operation they surrounded Ripcord by a div of NVA troops. Ripcord was hit with everything the NVA had for 23 days. On July 18, 1970 a chinnok hauling a slingload of 155mm rounds was hit by an NVA 51. and crashed into Ripcord's ammo dump. The firebase was evacuated two days later. In retrospect, if the US could have pushed into Laos and cut the trail, it would have won the war. As Keith W. Nolan has said in his book "Ripcord", the US could not bring the nessessary battlefield resources to bear to achieve victory at this time in the war. Ted McCormick B Co 1/327th Inf 101st Abn Div 69-70

--------------------

Operation Texas Star, in culminated in the evacuation of FSB Ripcord when Army Intel discovered that an NVA division of 10,000 would be attacking the base soon.

---------------------


Firebase Ripcord after Chinook shot down.

=======================================================================

Operation Lam Son 719

Operation Lam Son 719 (Vietnamese: Chiến dịch Lam Sơn 719 or Chiến dịch đường 9 - Nam Lào) was a limited-objective offensive campaign conducted in southeastern portion of the Kingdom of Laos by the armed forces of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) between 8 February and 25 March 1971 during the Vietnam Conflict. The United States (U.S.) provided logistical, aerial, and artillery support to the operation, but its ground forces were prohibited by law from entering Laotian territory. The objective of the campaign was the disruption of a possible future offensive by the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), whose logistical system within Laos was known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail (the Truong Son Road to the North Vietnamese).

By launching such a spoiling attack against PAVN's long-established logistical system, the American and South Vietnamese high commands hoped to resolve several pressing issues. A quick victory in Laos would bolster the morale and confidence of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), which was already high in the wake of the successful Cambodian Campaign of 1970. It would also serve as proof positive that South Vietnamese forces could defend their nation in the face of the continuing withdrawal of U.S. ground combat forces from the theater. The operation would be, therefore, a test of that policy and ARVN's capability to operate effectively by itself.

Unfortunately for the South Vietnamese, due to inherent flaws in their command structure, a need for security which precluded thorough planning, an inability by the political and military leaders of the U.S. and South Vietnam to face military realities, and poor execution, Operation Lam Son 719 collapsed when faced by the determined resistance of a skillful foe. The campaign was a disaster for the ARVN, decimating some of its best units and destroying the confidence that had been built up over the previous three years. Vietnamization, the policy touted by American civilian and military officials as the best method by which South Vietnam could be saved from communism and the American withdrawal completed, was revealed as a failure.

-snip-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Lam_Son_719

Lam Son 719 was a major operation of the Army of the Republic of South Vietnam, ARVN, into Laos from 30 Jan - 24 Mar 1971. U.S. provided all of the aviation assets for this operation. A/101 AHB "Comancheros" were one of the aviation units in this operation, along with being the sole 101st Airborne aviation unit supporting the Special Operations Group in I Corp during the month of February 1971.



The objective of Lam Son 719 was to disrupt an ongoing North Vietnamese Army supply buildup at Tchepone, Laos. American Helicopter Units supported and provided all transportation of ARVN troops/supplies into and out of Laos during this operation. The US Helicopter Crewman went against the heaviest anti-aircraft barrage incurred in the War.

Nice letter - hits the nail right on the head. A whole lot of posturing, animal killing, and "pedophiling" is about all ol' Ted's good for.

86. Ted Nugent rallies support from the GOP repukes and Hannity??

He's severely damaged goods so he should fit right in. Thinks he's a bad ass with those guns...likes to play cowboys and indians too. Would fit right in as a contractor in Iraq...shooting unarmed people. What a bad ass.

[Riktor]

87. He needs experience, that's all.

The Nuge simply lacks perspective. Draft his son and see his support for this bullshit war drop like his position on the Top 40.

No joke :puke:

Of one thing am certain: Girl Scout Cookies may be a direct celebration of this sick fuck's past child molesting. I wonder how sick and delusional and immune he feels as a highly puublic Loyal Bushie to come right out and say it, basically.

After all, if he is crazy enough to go from pants-shitting draft-dodger to super-patriot without a twinge of guilt for all those brave soldiers who died in his stead, were crippled, maimed, lives shortened in innumerable ways...if he can do that feat of compatrmentalization, guilt absolution, and cognitive disonance, then he is certainly crazy and brazen enough to come right out in song and celebrate his previous child molestations.

The lyrics are not yet available. I shall be interested to read them when they come out.

you are assuming thhat Nuge can actually comprehend big words like "brandishment", "perimeter" and "rationalizing". Would you make that assumption about, say, Bush**?

Remember: Know your audience. :-)

117. Better Dead Than Ted

Hey Ted, "The bigger the gun the smaller the p---s.

Anything to keep that career going another year or two.

118. That's the most well made thing, of any type, I've run across

in a good while.

Had Keith Olberman been a vet, he couldn't construct a put-down of this asshole any better than what you've done here. That was perfect. Just perfect.

I'd pay a high price for tickets if it were possible to see you, or anyone, say these words to that bastard's face. In public.
