WILF 47,636 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 No war without clear objectives can be won, I think this has been proven time and again right up to present day Afghanistan and Iraq. The bloke was a great fighter, a giant amongst sportsmen, to see him stricken as he is now days is sad in the extreme for one who shone so brightly.......that's my opinion. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Proves to me that when your mentally and spiritually in tune with your body faith in a god can make you very hard to beat very hard indeed ! Be that in the ring or in a war with guns. Maybe a great boxer and an entertainer but he was also a coward who refused to serve when drafted to the Vietnam war. So in his case not with guns. He didnt fight in the Draft because he didnt believe it was a just war in Vietnam even Amrica admitted it down the road it takes brave man to stand for his principals unlike you f***ing keyboard f***ing heros on here. ahh yet another enlightened reply. And where did "America" admit this exactly? I'm glad you posted this I was beginning to forget you were a nob GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- President Bill Clinton's visit to Vietnam this week opens a new chapter in relations between the United States and Vietnam, though Americans still find it hard to forget the memories of a war that claimed the lives of more than 50,000 American men and women. A new Gallup poll conducted November 13-15, 2000 finds that nearly seven out of 10 Americans (69%) believe that sending troops to Vietnam was a mistake. This level of opposition is slightly lower than that recorded in a 1990 Gallup poll on the 15th anniversary of the end of the war, when 74% considered it a mistake. However, it is consistent with other Gallup polls on the subject conducted in the past 15 years. There you prick think before you put your mouth in gear To be honest any poll taken after the event would be viewed in the negative, especially the way that both sides were losing troops. Also I suppose the demographic of the people taking the polls would also have an effect on the figures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know its an American poll, what I'm saying is that a poll taken in up state NY would have a different result than if you took it in the bible belt or Kansas for instance. And any poll taken after such a clusterfck would not be positive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 9,906 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 frazier said on interview that ali was being payed back for the insults he called everybody, and rightly so, by god, he would never ever forgive ali for the insults Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 8,674 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I only put the post up out of mischief-to wind up the anti islamists. and the usual suspects. Ali was no saint, he treated Joe Frazier very badly, amongst others, but he was no coward as some have already pointed out. Even among servicemen it's recognised that you need to have balls to announce you're a conchie. How he's never been assasinated is beyond me. I love the man. If anybody could turn me gay it would be him. I think he's provided me with more entertainment/inspiration than any other person alive or dead. For me he will always be the greatest of all time, not just because of his boxing skills but because of his outspokenness, charisma and humour. Deserbred, I've got to hand it to you, you put up a single handed defence on here and more than hold your own. PS.If you want some draft dodgers, how about Bill Clinton and George Bush.? Both body swerved the draft. Ali openly refused. He famously said 'the vietcong never called me nigger. And, 'Why should i go thousands of miles across the world to kill the yellow men'? He also said he was ready to die for his beliefs. I have no doubt he meant it and had the balls to be true to his word. Edited August 1, 2015 by jukel123 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Officially America has never apologised for the war or said its a mistake. A poll of the public is not the admission of a government. It wasn't a popular war even back in the 60's and the half dozen or so films is testament to this, so cutting and pasting a few facts from the Internet is hardly a revelation is it ( or maybe it is to you?).

The rest of us could then get on with a bit of banter and informed debate without interrupton. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
