Did an Army doctor confirm Rush Limbaugh's reason for being excused from military duty?

Question

During the Vietnam war, it was a common draft-dodging tactic to find an anti-war doctor who, for a few bucks, would find something wrong with you and so qualify you for a 4F (physically unfit for service).

Did Limbaugh use one of these docs or did a government doctor actually confirm that he was unfit for service?

Answer 1

Rush was declared 4-F during a draft physical.  Just to set the record straight, non-military doctors' diagnosis were not used to determine physical fitness for military duty.  Many doctors did however make extra cash by "selling" diagnosis.

Answer 2

I appreciate your concern about the well being of Rush's gluteous maxi-mus.  God bless you and Rush Limbaugh.

Answer 3

I thought he had an anal fissure...or something

Answer 4

No. It would have been his own personal doctor who would have written a statement claiming his butt cyst. More details: http://www.snopes.com/military/limbaugh....

Answer 5

Limbaugh is a dodger. Bush was a deserter.

Answer 6

I really don't see how a cyst on your fat @ss could get a government doctor to excuse you.
