      Ali wasn't a coward. He knew the **** he would get joining a racist group like the NOI but still did it.

        No.

        Vietnam was a CIA war and we had no bidness being there; Kennedy was ready to pull all American troops out by 1965.

          He didn't "throw" it away though seeing as the alternative would have been war

            He didn't even come up with that. NOI told him to say it.

                    No man should go to war and believe he is exempt of any moral responsibility.
                    What resources were stolen by the US in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan?
