with regard to dodging the draft,,,,,i think he had a point,,,lets face it,,back in the 60,s in the usa,,,there was still segrigation,,black folk not being able to go in some seats on a buss,,going to

security of american guys fighting... ,,lets get it right,,america had no busines being in vietnam,,,and america wasnt about to be invaded was it....   like i said treated as a second class citizen

 

 

In them days if the country needed you then yes ,it was the rules wasnt it ? These days its choice but back then they needed every man..... id be quite happy for every man to have to do couple years in army after leaving school. Have a friend in the israeli military and over there you have to join army weather you like it or not. So i belive

No different then to now really a superior country .. America going to war with a shitty little country .. Vietnam ... they posed no threat to American shores they just decided they were going to police them and failed badly so it really was down to your own conscious whether you thought it was right to fight or not ... fast forward to the not so distant past and we did the same in Iraq and Afghanistan... however the difference being al Qaeda... Isis ... etc do pose a threat to our shores as did pira the Ira etc so if your that passionate about being patriotic and defending your country like Ali should have you could have joined up and done your bit couldn't you ??? ........
Yeah sure could of but i didnt so ? Lol
So how can you slag Ali off for doing what you did ... which was not join up and fight for his country ... there's no difference between him and you really .......

Yeah why wouldnt he of fought ?

He was the HW champion of the world and the most famous sportsman out there. He would have been used for entertainment and morale purposes only.
