Springstein is a draft-dodging punk monetizing stolen valor and larping as a veteran.

(just like Ted Nugent)

Springsteen Draft Status: 4-F (crazy behavior resulting from a concussion)

LOL nice retconning, but he admitted acting useless so they wouldn't take him.

In 1984, Springsteen told Rolling Stone how he evaded the draft and revealed, "I got a 4-F. I had a brain concussion from a motorcycle accident when I was seventeen. Plus, I did the basic Sixties rag, you know: fillin' out the forms all crazy, not takin' the tests. When I was nineteen, I wasn't ready to be that generous with my life. I was called for induction, and when I got on the bus to go take my physical, I thought one thing: I ain't goin'. I had tried to go to college, and I didn't really fit in.

"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."

...I see how they retconned "born in the usa" as a tribute to those that did go, but it sure sounds first-person to me.
