* Ann-Margaret
* Connie Stevens
* Jerry Cologna
Oh, so many 'Good' Americans went to give support to the boys, despite their personal feelings
about the Vietnam Conflict.
It was about giving 'more' of one's self. It was not about 'them' , as it was about the boys and
young me in the United States Military.
These were the 'real' unsung heroes. As they gave their time and support, without asking for
any fan-fare.
Bob Hope and Connie Stevens

Yes Bill, they did a wonderful service for the troops, but what are you getting at here. Perhaps you are a Vietnam vet and might further explain your Ali fixation, why did you go to Vietnam Bill, did the Vietnamese call you a racial slur.

Who didn't want to go to Vietnam to see Ann-Margaret.
Here, Ann is smiling at the Troops, both high and 'low'.

Ali was a war hero because he did not go.

Therefore Ali was a great humanitarian who opposed an unjust war and made a nation see the utter waste of life lost in Vietnam. True hero who gave up his world title, money and fame for what he believed. Amazing man.

I am sure Ali would have shagged them if he went but we know he did the right thing and not go.

Yes Walrus... Bill was a Vietnam vet. He went to all the shows, and snapped all those pictures himself. He had made a special place in his little scrapbook for the Ali photos he was going to put there when The Greatest showed up and did a little shadowboxing for the troops. Unfortunately, Ali refused to be drafted, and Billy's scrapbook pages reserved for Ali went empty. Billy's heart was broken... but the sadness soon turned to anger. Once Billy returned to the States, he went to all of Ali's fights... but only to BOO and call Ali by his slave name. Before being hauled off by Ali's bodyguards, Billy swore to Ali that if there was ever something invented called the Internet, and if in that Internet there was ever something called a Boxing Forum..... that Billy would join and forever maintain a hate crusade the likes of which the world had never seen.
The rest, as they say..... is history.

give me a big hug and a kiss."
"Instead, he called me a N***** White Serving Slave."
"I was shocked, and I started to cry. Why would he say that to me."
"Then I looked back at him, and he walked back to this table with a bunch of big-shots sitting
there. A bunch of lawyers and money men. They were all 'WHITE''. "

When I came home from 'entertaining' the troops in Vietnam 1972. That is when Cassius Jr. gave
me grief.
My Television Special was in 1976. Just before my Television Special was about to start,
Cassius came by the studio with Flowers and Candy. He got down on his knee's and begged
forgiveness.
He 'begged' to be on my Television Special.
He said he was wrong about all the 'foul' things he said. He started to cry like a little boy. I felt
pity for him. Because he was really not that bright.
I told him that he could on my Television Show, if he behaved like a human being.
He bowed to my commands.

Ali took his stand for better or worse. He stood out for better or worse. I have never thought of him as being "the greatest of all time" that's how he thinks of himself. He was a great boxer and I never doubted that but the greatest? Nope.
Joe Louis is the greatest of all time, he has the stats to back it up.
As for the celebrities who did USO tours, God bless them, that was the absolute least they deserved. Vietnam was a shit war illegally started by Democrats...and conveniently blamed on Nixon.
-
Vietnam started America's communist revolution....commies infiltrated media, education, and government.
So much so that some "Americans" wanted us to lose the war....you saw it again in Iraq and Afghanistan...these fucking surrender monkeys have no clue how good they have it....and due to young men willing to sacrifice everything for the American way of life.
Troops shouldn't be sent to slaughter for no reason and they shouldn't be welcomed back with disdain and contempt either.

It's not entirely his fault.
Rather I think it's his imaginary friends that come by and visit him at his room at the Psych Ward.
They're the ones who come up with these stories.

Re: Celebrites Who Went To Vietnam To Entertain The Troops, And The One That Didn't.
My old man said he sat in the door once and listened to some guy with "celebrity status" nearly sob and piss himself as they took fire flying out of a fob. Always thought he meant some actor or singer with little business there, but turned out it was a spit polish fast tracked Major who still had clean fingernails and all his creases and shine on the pins ;D

Carroll Baker in Vietnam {1965}
"They said that the Heavyweight Champion was coming with us on the U.S.O. Tour. But he never showed up."
"One of the other Girls said that he was afraid. And I said, you mean Sonny Liston is afraid."
"And the other Girl said. No, not Sonny Liston. It's that other guy."
"But nobody knew his name."
"He wasn't all that popular or famous anyway. And, I didn't know he was a Big Chicken."

Ali was champion by then not Sonny, so they probably knew nothing about boxing.

I'm sure that Carroll Baker {Age; 34} knew a lot more than we thought in 1965.

Rocky Marciano actually proved that the phantom punch was a real punch more than anyone else ever proved it before. Rocky Marciano was sitting 11 feet from where clay planted his rear foot and thrcrew that anchor punch. He said that Clay initially through 50% of the punch without anything behind it but then seeing the opening at the time turned it over using torque nd torsion from his right oblique meaning his right waist with the muscles in his waist along the rib cage and because of that additional torque the final 50% of the punch traveled with suddenly increasing force and definitely made a sharp impact on a listontd left jaw which was a sweet spot

Jayne Kennedy ....... USO Tour 1971
"Yes, I went. It was about supporting the good men and women of the United States Military.
It was not about our Government's Policy."
"You know, the beef between Cassius and the United States Government was over. The court case was settled."
"But, he could have shown support for our boys and girls over there in 1971. I will never forgive
him for that."
