LOL. Another Political post in OT and another rewrite of history.
Ali didn't stand up to the war. He just refused to go himself. He really did not seem to have any problem with anyone else getting killed there...or any quarrel with the war or killing Asians until they lowered the IQ requirements in 1966 and his 78 IQ which had kept him deferred suddenly made him eligible for the draft.
Lots of folks had medical or educational deferments (including Ali). It seems you prefer the cowardly lawbreakers to those that were judged physically incapable and could not serve.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
