You know Ali was originally classed as unfit for duty.

His reading, and writing skills were not good enough to follow orders, and the higher ups revised the test, and later reclassified him as 1A/Eligible.

Ali was shafted.

On April 27th, 1967: on this day Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was drafted into the United States Army at the military induction center in Louisville, Kentucky. Watch The Politics of Muhammad Ali

Three years before, his writing and spelling skills had been considered below par, resulting in a failure to pass the Armed Forces qualifying test. But when those tests were later revised in early 1966, a reclassified score of 1A meant that he was now eligible for the draft.

Interesting.

I respect that he had the courage to speak truth to power and refused to obey orders to kill people who'd never harmed him.

When more people refuse to comply, wars will be less frequent.

He wasn't 'book smart' for sure. His HS diploma was a gift for his athletic accomplishments and local popularity.

They wanted a high value propaganda target drafted so they could tell others, 'look, Ali went'.

Didn't work. And an 8-0 SCOTUS reversal.
That only happens in the most obvious of cases. Some of that was based on illegal wire taps and abuse of authority. All white jury didn't bolster their pathetic case. The '60's were a rough time.

Ali is my favorite athlete of all time, we all looked up to him in HS. Especially after body bags started coming home and American Legions started being renamed to guys just 2 or 3 years older than us. It was a very ugly time for this country.

i have a feeling the conversation to his staff went like this:

Macron (french accent): he wants to be a bab-y..we'll treat him like a bab-y..

nice story but isn't his thread about something else?

like to berate trump for dissing WW1 vets by not attending the cemetery in which they're buried..our own troops who died in the name of freedom.

i can feel them rolling in their graves.

maybe we should've told him they were white..nah but they're dead = losers.

way to go..so proud:clap:

I think it would be healthier to search for nazi pornography on porn hub rather than subject us to your unwanted fantasies. Maybe that way you could get it out of your system.

Did you sign up to be part of a foreign war of aggression or were you being obedient and obeying orders from the masters draft board? How do people that are drafted "protect freedom" if being drafted is an act which negates freedom ?

Also, there's no need to use sign language sir, use your big boy words to explain why you went someplace to aid in an invasion. I mean it's okay to say you went because you didn't know any better or do you cling to the fantasy that invading people is somehow a good thing?

You have an unhealthy fascination with nazis. It's really creepy. So I was thought this was some sort of sexual fantasy, since the ones you accuse, you also want them to pay you for sexual favors. You tell me? Do nazis get you jazzed up? It's ok. No one can control their fantasies. Just as long as they remain fantasies, that's completely normal. Because otherwise that'd be racist.

It is true that I was birthed on a tropical island and lived in a hut.

Of course some people question using the word "liberated" and still go with annexed or militarily occupied.

Even though you drank the military hoo - rah koolaid I still like you and forgive you.
