Why did Muhammad Ali refuse to fight in the Vietnam War?
Muhammad Ali, now deceased, world boxing legend, gave this answer in an interview, being pressured to go to fight in Vietnam, suffering from being imprisoned, which actually happened..
'′I'm not going to dodge. I am not burning any flag. I will not run to Canada. I stay right here.
Do you want to send me to jail? Okay, go ahead. I have been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I'm not going to go 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I will die right here, right now, fighting with you, if I want to die. You are my enemy, not any Chinese, nor Vietcong, nor Japanese. You are my opponent when I want freedom. You are my opponent when I want justice. You are my opponent when I want equality.
Do you want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You will not even defend me right here in America, neither my rights nor my religious beliefs. You won't even defend me here at home.
