[QUOTE="Allen, post: 107500, member: 389"] FWIW, I loved watching the man box when I was a kid, but that doesn't mean I like him as a person. A fair number of people thought prison (or Canada) was safer than going in the service back then. He was a great boxer/entertainer. As far as what he was as a person? I think others have summed it up for me, he was a draft dodger that didn't deep down love his country enough to serve when asked. Elvis got drafted, and served his country. I doubt Cassius Clay would have ever seen combat, he would have been on special duty the whole time in uniform. It's not about your personal opinions on the conflict, it's about whether or not you are willing to stand and fight for your country even if that meant fighting for another country's people. There were a pretty fair number of people drafted to serve in WWI, WWII, and Korea as well. [/QUOTE]
