Cassius didn't want to 'Play Ball'.

Ali effectively gave up the title for going to Vietnam. Get over it, most people have.

Cassius Clay,

Would have never been in Vietnam, in no Military capacity for the United States,
unless he was performing in a Circus Act.

What was he going to do there, become a;
* Huey Chopper Pilot
* Field Medic
* Artillery Scout
* Special Forces
* Green Beret
* Machine Gunner
* Tank Commander
* F-15 Jet Fighter Pilot
* Sniper
* CIA Operative

None of the above because he was never going. He would rather go to jail. Why did the government insist he go when plenty avoided the draft?
