Different era.

Different Muslims.

A deferment back in those days. Flat feet, asthma, school deferments. Those kinds of things.

Vietnam was a crappy war fought in a crappy place and fought in a crappy manner. Perhaps the MOST useless war the U.S. has ever fought save the Spanish American War

You got to explain that one seeing as to how he wasn't in power until '73
He was Nixon's NSA from 68-73. He was instrumental in the bombings in Cambodia, which many experts feel was a war crime.

I interpret your post to mean you agree with me.
Am I correct?
if you need a higher power to validate your existence, you're probably a sheep

Although I think the war was stupid , from a purely military point of view, bombing the supply lines and supply/ ammo dumps in Cambodia that an enemy is using to resupply those that are fighting you is not only a good idea, it's sound military strategy....not doing that is malfeasance

The truth, though hard to make out under the thick moss of mythology, is that Ali refused induction not out of principle but from fear of disobeying Elijah Muhammad, who had stipulated that the champ not serve in a “white man’s war.”
What's the problem? Vietnam was totally a bullshite war and any reason to avoid it was legit and admirable, including the belief that the Spaghetti Monster approves of the way that Vietnamese boil their rice noodles and so to attack them would be to attack the Holy Pasta himself.

Or a cowards way out if Daddy went to the draft board. Amazing Trump was still able to play tennis but couldnt go to Vietnam. I bet he played through a lot of pain.

What if everyone refused to participate in war?
Do you mean "Supposed they had a war and nobody came?"
Well, you are in a dream world if you think that will ever happen.
There will always be sheople to do the dirtywork.

Come one. They hid it from Congress, we still don't know how many civilians it killed(anywhere from 150,000-500,000), and it lead to the rise of Khmer Rouge.
Bombing innocent civilians is never a sound military strategy.

Exactly.
So he didn't want to go die in a stupid war. Good for him. You apparently think 58k dead Americans was a better alternative to refusing to be drafted.

No problem. We would cease to exist as the USA as we know/knew it. You disagree?

Is this like your "stand" on income taxes, where the "sheople" should all stop paying, but you still do because you haven't been able to convince anyone else to join in on your "stand"? That's badass!

But the geniuses on this board have convinced me that these Muslims have been doing the same thing for thousands of years and that each one wants to chop off my head.
I hope you aren't insinuating that my friends here on the poliboard are morons?

As soon as Ali became a Black Muslim he was shite in my eyes
Always loved they story of Ali meeting the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show around a fight back in the 60's. Ali told them when they confronted each other, "y'all aren't as dumb as you look"...Lennon responds with, " No, but you are". Of course if Lennon were still alive, I'm sure He would be unbearable.
