Singer-songwriter Graham Nash called out President Donald Trump for trying to “launch us into oblivion” with his attack on Iran.

The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer ― for Crosby, Stills & Nash and for The Hollies ― wrote on Instagram that it “blows my mind” to be “shoved into a war... by a man with multiple deferments so he wouldn’t have to fight himself and put his own life on the line the way he will now ask so many others to do.”

“Makes me sick,” Nash added.

Trump received four draft deferments during the Vietnam War for college and a fifth for bone spurs in his heels. Years later, he told radio host Howard Stern that avoiding sexually transmitted diseases was “my personal Vietnam.”

Nash, who became a U.S. citizen in 1978, did not mention Trump by name in his social media post. But it was pretty clear who he was talking about in his Friday message, which was posted as the U.S. and Israel continued their attacks on Iran.

Nash, who is perhaps best known for “Our House” and “Teach Your Children,” but also performed on the protest anthem “Ohio” as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, wrote:

“He cares for no one except himself. The best thing we can do is to be the total opposite of him and all the people like him,” Nash added. “Keep pushing back. None of this is normal.”
