Not at all. I've always been a big fan of Ali. It's good to see him still
smiling, despite all that has befallen him.
A draft dodger just like you.
A draft dodger? No. He was a legitimate consciences objector and paid

In 1964, Cassius Clay took the Armed Forces Qualification Test. In 1964,
Cassius Clay announced his membership in the Black Muslims. He became a
follower of Malcom X. He then, when inducted, used his religion as a basis
for his pacifism.
Sounds fishy to me.
