Which of the two stated medical reasons was the primary one behind Limbaugh’s 1-Y classification is difficult to determine directly, since individual medical files held by his draft board have long since been destroyed. Some commentators, such as Limbaugh biographer Paul Colford, implied that Limbaugh’s knee injury was minor or non-existent, writing: “Asked about Limbaugh’s ‘football knee from high school,’ [Ryland] Meyr, the coach during his lone year of play, said he did not remember any injury.”2

However, that Limbaugh did indeed have a pilonidal cyst seems indisputable, as he himself, his mother, and his brother all maintained that he did:

Yet, for all his father’s patriotism, and deep-rooted fear of Communism, Rusty (Rush) did not enlist to preserve those ideals. The official explanation, David Limbaugh said, is that Rush had a student deferment and, like his father, had a pilonidal cyst on his ass which qualified him for a medical deferment.3

Limbaugh’s mother said in 1993 that she did not know if her son had a physical or not, but she added that he did have a pilonidal cyst like his father.2
