I am 56 if that matters. Get over his opposition to the Vietnam war and his refusal to participate. Consider this, he faced it directly, was tried and convicted. Can’t say the same for the others who found excuse after excuse to avoid the draft or, like Bush and Gore, got sweet duty because of family.

Ali had the conviction overturned. He joined the racist Nation of Islam to avoid service. It was his excuse. I am not excusing those who avoided service thru deferments or other means. At least Bush and Gore served in the military and Gore did go to Vietnam.
