I mean the guy claimed that he couldn't go to war because of his new religious beliefs when he converted to Islam . He couldn't fight because it was against Islam, now that's funny . Now what does it do to his legacy that he just chose a religion that nobody knew about to he could claim it was against it to go to war so he could coward in America?

1) It's "effect".
2) He was the greatest of all time.
3) The Louisville draft board, which was all white, picked him because he was a flashy, mouthy black guy. He was really close to being too old to go to Vietnam and his IQ test was really close to him not being eligible for the draft.
4) It took balls to do what he did. He gave up some prime years of his fighting career. But he didn't want to fight and Vietnam was a giant cluster frick.
5) You're a fricking moron. Go play in traffic
