You are relying on Google AI too much. You don't know the entire story.
military classification of unfit for military service, and as it applied to Bruce it was because he failed the physical.
He failed not because of any 'physical' problem. He acted crazy and appeared to have mental problems. All a phony act.
Freehold did have the rug factory go out due to competition from Imports. They were forced to close. Bruce made THEM into the bad guys. As if they closed the factory just to hurt the local workers. It was a logical business decision they HAD to do. This happens everywhere not just Freehold.
It also was his Fathers decision to work there in the first place. He wasn't forced to go there. Bruce NEVER worked there.
However, that was just a small blip and Freehold continued to grow with 1000's of jobs in the area. Today it's better than ever including the second largest mall in the state. But Bruce focused his negativity toward ONE isolated Rug factory. The fact remains...he grew up in a nice area that got even nicer. He or his father could have worked in numerous other places.
Bruce is a Billionaire but he is not completely self made. Let's give some credit to the record company that picked him up off the street and marketed him to great success.
He has always been negative toward the country that gave him so much.
