As a Vietnam veteran, I would like to challenge the sincerity of Toby Keith and the publicity that he gains for his exposure with our present day veterans, I don't care how many tours he's made to Iraq to entertain the troops. Nancy Henderson needs to do her homework. Keith is good buddies with one of America's notorious cowards has been rock guitarist Ted Nugent who boasted in an interview with the Detroit Free Pres (July 15, 1990) to urinating and defecating in his pants for an entire week before reporting for his draft board physical to avoid serving his country during the Vietnam War. Keith even dragged Nugent to Iraq and foisted him in the faces of our brave troops. He continued with his insulting tour in the U.S. having Nugent participate in presenting folded flags to grieving family members who lost loved ones in these Middle East conflicts. How can Keith insult these true American patriotic families by presenting Nugent in their grieving presence. Does Keith really think that these American families would respect him if they knew the truth about Nugent?? Moreover, what kind of respect is Keith showing Vietnam veterans with his association with such a coward like Nugent?? There are many of us Vietnam veterans who question the sincerity of Keith and his antics. Come clean Keith, you can't have it both ways.
