Nugent boasted in the Detroit Free Press to urinating and defecating in his pants to avoid serving his country during Vietnam. Keith likes to be known as a real supporter of our troops yet he likes to keep company with cowards. Go sing your phony patriotic songs to your cowardly buddy Keith - Birds of a Feather.

I understand those who would respond that our troop strength has been reduced by Bush policy. Granted. But, if we seriously believe that Afganistan is a legitimate front on the war on terror, the troop strength argument doesn't absolve us of the challenges we face in Afganistan.

Sort of how you never hear from 50 Cent and Britney Spears much now on how they were/are big Bush and war supporters. Half-Wits and mediocre talents, propped up by the same Ministry of Truth that cleanses information and tell half-truths and outright lies. Hearing these people "sing" has a very destructive and comical effect on the brain. Toby Keith “changed” his Pro-Bush, Pro-War stance when it because unpopular with 51% of the public.
