Springsteen is a draft dodger with a messed up brain
"At age 19, Springsteen was
drafted, but failed his physical examination because of a
concussion he suffered in a motorcycle accident two years earlier
combined with his behavior at induction, both of which reportedly made him unacceptable for
military service."
he acted like a kook retard. was he really acting?
"Like countless other people of his age, Bruce Springsteen stared at his own mortality in the mirror when drafted for the US Army aged 19 to serve his country in the Vietnam War. However, he just couldn’t bring himself to go
and came up with an ingenious plan to dodge duty.
At the same time as The Boss was playing dive-bars, he had friends on the other side of the world fighting. Many people he knew didn’t return from Vietnam, and those who did were
disparate souls to the young, innocent, wide-eyed teenagers that received their call-up. “I had some friends, very close friends of mine…guys who came home in wheelchairs, and then, I didn’t go,” the singer told Tom Hanks at Tribeca Film Festival in 2017. He went on to admit:
“I was a stone-cold draft dodger.”
Springsteen then confessed that he carried out “everything in the draft-dodgers textbook. So, perhaps, I felt guilty about that later on. I had friends who went. I had friends who went and died. I had friends later on who were seriously hurt.” The Boss went on to say how it was a difficult journey to “come to terms with myself”, and he turned to music to clear his conscience.
