Why would you risk your life to fight a pointless war for a country that didn't recognize you as full human being or citizen at that time?. . . Or even if your life wasn't at risk why would you support this.This Clay wasn't a coward who changed his name and dodged a war.
He wasn't privileged....He worked for his and it cost him his health. He litterally earned it.Tell that to the thousands of dead working men who didn't have the luxury of a choice like the coward clay who cried, complained, and changed his name while being more privileged than half of America.
Happens, if in discussion theme wasn't touched former boxer ( Olympic gold medalist ) that had his licence suspended due to political reasons.The boxing subforum happens to be about boxing. Please keep the political threads wherever they’re appropriate.

for example why Luther King died etc like stuff.And this thread doesn’t happen to discuss anything remotely close to

Exactly, it's a load of bollocks. You expect them to fight in your war but won't treat them as equal citizens at home.Well, from one point….
US used indians and afro americans for WW2 with a glance.
After WW2 they attempted continue official segregation ……………...
There of course too is point, why previously segregated ppl didn't want to die for some country that segregates them.
Imagine demand this stuff: gypsies and jews with willingless and glance wish to die for Hitler?
US was country that worshiped segregation then.
And slavery in all US territory was abolished only after Civil War.

U treat someone as trash due to his skin colour and/ or nationality and after this demand loyality?
Enforced loyality deserved former slave traders and holders?
They went to US to seek better life and then imported african people as their slaves.

Outcome must be felt.

As a boxer, ofc, 1959-1967 Ali was GOAT, in 70 ies..... more cos toughness and his big name.
Fuck man don't even get me started on Cortez's hemorrhoids issue!And people in this thread don’t happen to discuss anything remotely close to his boxing fights.
Jesus. I can’t wait for the debate over Joe Cortez’s hemorrhoids issues.
No dude, he’s just a troll. It’s 2020 not 1969, no one has sung the merits of Nam in 50 years.Are you military?????
No. You are.You're drawing wrong conclusions.
Other Americans worked but still didn't get a choice when they got drafted. It was either go fight or go to jail.He wasn't privileged....He worked for his and it cost him his health. He litterally earned it.
You did not address any of the facts and logic in the post.
Ali, also went broke when he got out.
Killing strangers with no just cause because a shitty government orders you to for no reason is not heroic. Neither are the people who virtue signal over it.
Are you military?????
No. You are.
