Watch Ted Nugent's Rousing National Anthem Rendition — but First, His Strong Message on Chris Kyle

LAS VEGAS -- Rock star Ted Nugent riled up the audience at the Outdoor Channel’s 15th annual Golden Moose Awards with a rousing rendition of the national anthem at the Venetian Theater in Las Vegas Thursday night.

“You can’t do this in France. Freedom isn't free. This is dedicated to then heroes of the military. God bless the military warriors, especially the snipers. God bless the snipers,” Nugent said before his performance.

He then defiantly added, “This is for Chris Kyle and in defiance of all the pieces of s**t who don’t get it.”
