People are going to say what they want to say about Ali, he was a man who decided that he did not want to fight a war against someone who never tried to kill him. The supreme court with a 8-0 decision to overturn his conviction for not enlisting in the army. The same law that freed Ali was the same law that protects Jehovah witnesses from being enlisted. I believe it was people like Ali who helped change the policy on conscription into the military, regardless if he changed his religion to get out of war for someone else's hidden agenda which could be said for some of the ivy league schools who also did not have to fight. No if you want to fight for this country then so be it but it should be a choice for each individual, a draft is only fair if the rules are followed by ALL americans regardless of special privileges.
Ali was willing to go to prison for his beliefs not only that he lost the heavyweight title plus millions of dollars in loss revenue.
