Not a draft dodger - he took no nefarious actions to avoid the draft - he just said = 'I aint going" = he was straightforward and up front with his objection to the war on the basis of not wanting to kill.
Unfair to compare him to asshats who fled the country, got phone medical diagnoses, etc.
I think he was an honest, simple man. True 'draft dodgers' - not so much.

Well that's what a lot of people had trouble wrapping their heads around - he espoused he didn't believe in killing but he had no problem beating your arse to a pulp in a boxing ring. His interpretation of what the word "violence" meant just didn't seem to add up.
