I appreciate that Dave, but unlike you, I don't have the IQ of a fire hydrant....

David, I bet you did very poorly in both Con Law and Crim Pro I and II. No one who actually took and passed those classes could possibly be as ignorant about the difference as you are. Being that stupid is really too bad. I feel sorry for you.

I failed both, Kenny boy. I also failed Draft Dodging I and II because I did step up and serve my country. Did you, or are you just talking out of your ass...again?

David, joined ROTC and got discharged due to active asthma during summer camp at Ft. Riley. Unfortunately, in your case, serving your country didn't make you any smarter. Sorry Kevin, that was an awful mistake I made.

Maybe it didn't Kenny boy, but it sure as hell gave me a better appreciation of those who served our counrty and even more appreciation of those that made the ultimate sacrifice, while those like Ali dodged their duty.

No, I think it caused you to lose the ability to see any perspective whatsoever other than your own. That's too bad.

Other than my brother, my entire family served or at least tried to. Stepdad in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, dad in Korea, stepbrother and stepsister in Vietnam. My brother in law has done two tours in Iraq and two more in Afghanistan as a Navy corpsman going out with the Marines. I appreciate the sacrifices that they and others made, but unlike you, most of those in my family seem to have been able to keep a broader perspective than your myopic one.

I lost 3 great Uncles (My Grandmother's brothers) in WWII. Two in combat, and one in a stinking Japanese prison camp. Isn't it amazing how we still buy German and Japanese cars to this day??

Differences aside, a sincere thank you to your family members that serve(d). Just curious though, what do they think of Ali dodging the draft?

I was thinking it was really nice of your mommy to let you stay up late, but then I remembered that school is now out for the summer. Just try snd keep the noise down around the house. The adults have to get up and go to work in the morning.

It's funny you mentioned that, I would have figured you would have been at Gilley's by now....

Nope, I quit going there after they took down the rebel flag. Your state still flies it though, right?

I am still waiting for someone to produce a veteran who thinks that Muhammad Ali was a hero. I doubt that one exists.

"Laura and I are saddened by the death of Muhammad Ali, The Greatest of All Time. I gave Ali the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005 and wondered aloud how he stayed so pretty throughout so many fights. 'It probably had to do with his beautiful soul. He was a fierce fighter and he's a man of peace, just like Odessa and Cassius Clay, Sr., believed their son could be.'
"Muhammad Ali was an iconic and historic figure who thrilled, entertained, influenced, and inspired millions. Americans will always be proud to have been in his corner and called him one of our own.
Laura and I send our heartfelt condolences to Muhammad Ali's family and friends."

I was going to have several responses to your post so I put this as the first one and then realized he didn't serve! but it's a pretty good one from someone you probably voted for...and the ONLY thing I have ever agreed with Bush on!!

I was talking to my Dad yesterday. He was an Army Ranger during the Vietnam War, is a proud veteran, can recite military history from throughout the 20th Century, and he had nothing but complimentary things to say about Ali.

C'mon, Leon. Lock this thread.

Here you are George!!!

Ali was a hero to his country. There is a difference between country and government.
