Anything you think you know about Ali’s fight against the draft, you likely don’t.The question asked why did Ali refuse to fight in the Vietnam War?Understand from the start the Government never would have let him fight in that War and said so. And if you think you know what happened in his case, you almost certainly do not. It is a tale of treachery and law breaking - on the part of the Department of Justice and the government under President Lyndon Johnson.The Government would never have let Muhammad Ali anywhere near the front lines, no matter what he wanted. The Government had, in fact, flatly told Muhammad Ali that he, like Joe Louis before him, would never actually fight in the war, no matter what he wanted. The Government had zero intent of risking a celebrity being killed in a divisive war if it was able to help it. The issue boiled down to would Ali do PR to support a war which he felt was wrong, and in which he felt Americans were dying for nothing. He decided he could not.CREDIT PICTURE Fibre Broadband, TV Packages, BT Sport & Mobile DealsWhen Ali asked for conscientious objector status, a government appointed hearing Judge, a retired state Judge of impeccable character, ruled that Ali was sincere, his faith genuine, and he should be given conscientious objector status. The U.S. Department of Justice hid the findings of fact and law of their own Judge and the public, instead forwarding a letter which lied openly to the Selective Service, recommending induction. The whole sorry mess was political, with a vindictive President and his minions determined to punish anyone who refused to endorse their undeclared war.So, let us explain what really happened, so people stop saying why did Ali refuse to fight in the Vietnam War. The Government would not let him fight if he wanted to.So why did Ali refuse induction, when all he would have done is boxed exhibitions, and like Louis in WW2, kept his title and made millions?Let me be crystal clear: Government misconduct against Ali began long before he refused induction. He had been trying to follow the law for at least a year before he got notice of induction, and get conscientious objection status - status the Government’s own Judge said he should get. The Government lied, cheated, and broke every one of its own laws in persecuting Muhammad Ali. And I mean PERSECUTE, not just prosecute.Ali believed not only that the war was wrong, but that whether he actually had to carry a rifle or not he could not support it - and the Government had flatly stated to his attorneys and family he would not be put in combat arms, but like Joe Louis, allowed to box exhibitions and forced to appear at public events as Louis had during WW2. Ali said no, because he could not help them prolong an immoral war.The Government lied and broke the law all the way to the Supreme Court, where it was finally forced to admit the truth. The Supreme Court said it best: “The Court said: "The Government in this Court has also made clear that it no longer questions the sincerity of the petitioner's [Ali's] beliefs. [opposing the war] This concession is also correct."What actually happened when Ali asked for objector status in early 1966?Ali did everything by the book to ask for conscientious objector status because he morally and religiously opposed the war, and the Government lied, hid their own Judge’s findings, and illegally tried to first induct Ali, then imprison him.Ali had failed the Army IQ test - he was dyslexic - but the Government changed the scores for induction, and February 1966, the Selective Service informed Ali that he was, for the first time, eligible for military service. The Government also cheerfully notified him he would be used for PR as Joe Louis had been. Ali then applied for a conscientious objector exemption, as he was opposed to doing PR or anything else to support a cause he believed morally, and ethically, wrong.Contrary to many of the Ali-haters belief that Ali simply refused to step forward and be inducted, it was a lot more complex than that, and had begun years before - and the actions of the Government were despicable and illegal.Ali had taken every legal step to ask for draft exemption on the grounds his religious beliefs kept him from serving in the Vietnam War, long before he received an induction notice.Ali had first applied for conscientious objection status in his home state in Louisville, Kentucky, per the rules of the Selective Service. The Selective Service Board in Louisville, then referred his application to the Selective Service Appeal Board. All of this took place over a year before he was ordered to report for induction.By law, and Selective Service administrative regulations, once he had applied for objector status and gotten a pro forma rejection, the next step was a comprehensive background check done by the FBI, which was then forwarded to an Administrative Law Judge chosen by the Department of Justice to hold a full and fair fact finding hearing and advise the Appeal Board how to rule.After the FBI did a lengthy background investigation, an Administrative Law Judge, in this case a man with impeccable character and 32 years experience on the bench, a man picked by the Government, heard Ali’s request for conscientious objection.The Supreme Court summed up the facts behind that hearing:“There followed a hearing on 'the character and good faith of the (petitioner's objections' before a hearing officer appointed by the Department. The hearing officer, a retired judge of many years' experience, heard testimony from the petitioner's mother and father, from one of his attorneys, from a minister of his religion, and from the petitioner himself. He also had the benefit of a full report from the FBI. On the basis of this record the hearing officer concluded that the registrant was sincere in his objection on religious grounds to participation in war in any form, and he recommended that the conscientious objector claim be sustained.”Clay v. United States, 403 U.S. 698 (1971)Lawrence Grauman, a highly respected retired Kentucky state judge, was an establishment figure in Kentucky, and the Government picked him in the belief he would find Ali was not sincere. Unfortunately for the Department of Justice, Judge Grauman concluded that Ali had a sincere religious objection to war in any form, and he recommended that the Board grant Ali status as a conscientious objector.Did the Government of the United States then do what its own regulations and those of the Selective Service required, and forward Judge Grauman’s well reasoned legal opinion and findings of fact and law, with the background investigation which supported it, to the Selective Service Board in Louisville?No indeed. The Selective Service Appeal Board, which ruled on Ali’s application, never saw Judge Grauman’s report and findings, ever. Instead, the Department of Justice, in an act which violated every tenet of the law, forwarded a letter instead of Judge Grauman’s report, which instead, unlike their own Judge, ruled against Ali.Nor did the Department inform Ali of the Judge’s findings as required by law - he would never know Judge Grauman had ruled in his favor, and that ruling and the formal report of findings of fact had been suppressed until his case reached the Supreme Court!The Justice Department, in response to the State Appeal Board's referral for an advisory recommendation, concluded, contrary to its own hearing officer's recommendation, which it refused to forward, and in fact misstated, that Ali's claim should be denied, and wrote the board that Ali did not meet any of the three basic tests for conscientious objector status, despite Judge Grauman finding in his comprehensive opinion that Ali had, in fact and law, met those tests for objector status.The DOJ, unlike Judge Grauman in his formal finding of fact, stated no factual basis for its claims, and again, completely withheld the Judge’s findings from the Selective Service Board. The reason for a comprehensive investigation and fact finding hearing is precisely to have facts established by law for the Board, and a recommendation by a judge as to how to apply those facts.The Government made sure the Selective Service had neither report nor fact findings or the legal recommendation from their own Judge!In addition, the Government made sure Ali and his attorneys did not have the Judge’s report and fact findings either, so they were unable to use them at his later criminal trial, or release the highly damning report to the public, which thought Ali simply woke up one fine day and refused induction without cause!The Selective Service Appeal Board, under immense political pressure, then denied Ali’s petition for conscientious objection, but without stating its reasons. It could not state its reasons, because it did not have the Judge’s fact finding, the background investigation, or any of the relevant facts or findings so it could state a reason.Not only did the Government disgracefully break every regulation and rule of law in Ali’s induction appeal, it then offered up to his trial to settle favorably with him, if he would just agree to box exhibitionsAli was well aware that the Army would have put him to PR use as it had Joe Louis during WW2. In "The Greatest: my own story," Ali made clear he had no intention of contributing in any way to a war he regarded as morally wrong.Up to his trial date, the Department of Justice offered to settle Ali’s case, assuring his attorneys in writing that they would make sure he did not serve in the combat arms, or even in a combat theater. The Government never wanted him as a grunt - they wanted a PR stooge. They wanted him to agree to yield, and box exhibitions for them.But Ali stood firm against both their promises and threats, so on June 20, 1967, Ali was convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years in prison, fined $10,000 and banned from boxing. The fact the Government never followed regulation and law and suppressed their own Administrative Law Judge’s report never came up.But the Government was stuck when the case got to the Supreme Court, and the Justices started looking at Judge Grauman’s mysteriously disappearing report, and the Government quickly changed it’s tune and admitted oops, Ali was sincere after all, his beliefs real, but he was still wrong on a technicality. They were unable to offer one single fact to support their amazing about face and conclusions.The Supreme Court of the United States cleared Ali in a stunning 8–0 opinion, authored by Justice Harlan, who had become convinced of Ali’s sincerity, and of the Government’s wanton misbehavior.The Government conceded in court that Ali’s beliefs were real and sincere, and based on religious teachings as he understood them, but still asked the Court to uphold the conviction, saying that though Ali’s beliefs were real, they had not been sincere at the time of induction. (which of course was illogical and idiotic)The Supreme Court spoke to that:“The Department hearing officer—the only person at the administrative appeal level who carefully examined the petitioner and other witnesses in person and who had the benefit of the full FBI file—found 'that the registrant is sincere in his objection.' The Department of Justice was wrong in advising the Board in terms of a purported rule of law that it should disregard this finding .”Clay v. United States, 403 U.S. 698 (1971)What happened to Ali was a disgrace. He sincerely opposed the war, and should have been granted objector status, as 170,000 other men were. The Government at every turn broke the law. They appointed a Judge they thought would rule for them, and when that Judge, a truly moral and ethical man, found against them, they suppressed his ruling and legal and factual findings. Judge Grauman’s findings would have remained hidden forever except for the Supreme Court.The DOJ did its best to hid Judge Grauman’s report, but a Supreme Court Justice found it - and that was the unwinding of the Government’s conspiracyThe Supreme Court almost did not take Ali’s case. The Court picks those cases it wishes to hear, and only Justice Brennan’s insistance that something was wrong convinced the Court to hear the case. At that point Ali was facing a court divided on his case, until Justice Potter Stewart discovered Judge Grauman’s long suppressed findings deep in the DOJ records. An outraged Justice Harlan then took it upon himself to champion Ali with the other Justices, and the remainder is history.The Government simply had not counted on a Justice taking an interest in this case - actually two did - and had not counted on said Justice searching the tens of thousands of pages of documents in its files until he unearthed Judge Grauman’s memorandum.Judge Grauman’s long hidden memorandum of law and findings of fact turned a 5–3 vote against Ali to an 8–0 vote for him.The cost to Ali of defying a lying, cheating, morally corrupt Government was immense. He lost almost 4 years of his career, the prime of it, and millions upon millions of dollars. Not one single Government agent ever paid a penalty of any kind for their despicable and illegal actions.Ali’s statement back then should ring loudly today given the George Floyd death:“I am not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people, they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow.”

Another misguided question.First, Ali was exiled from boxing nearly 4 years, not 3.Second, not one of Ali’s opponents except Mac Foster went to Vietnam, and Mac went before he started boxing. Indeed, since Mac never boxed before enlisting in the Marines, the military service launched his career, not hurt it.Third, a federal court ruled Ali’s ban from boxing was illegal, and would have been illegal even if his draft conviction had stood.Finally, Ali was never going to fight in Vietnam - the government wanted him to fight exhibitions as Joe Louis had during WW2, and had made that clear to him.CREDIT PICTURE BOXING HALL OF FAMEThere are two things wrong with this stupid question, first, Ali was out of boxing 1,315 days, nearly 4 years, not 3, and second, NONE of his contemporaries had their boxing careers interrupted by military service.First thing wrong with this question: none of Ali’s contemporaries or opponents went to Vietnam except Mac Foster - who went before he started boxingOf the top fighters of the 1960s and 1970s, in the Golden Era, only one professional heavyweight contender was a Vietnam Veteran.MacArthur (“Mac”) Foster was born in Alexandria, Virginia on June 27, 1942. Mac was the third of eleven children, born to a dirt poor Mississippi sharecropping family (the mean poverty of sharecropping produced two other fighters of note in the Golden Age, the great Larry Holmes, and Earnie Shavers).Mac spent his childhood living with his family in California, where his father worked at various jobs and the family, including Mac, picked grapes and cotton in season. He was a fine high school athlete and Fresno State University offered him a track and field scholarship but he refused and instead enlisted in the United States Marines.Mac took up boxing in the Marine Corps. While in the Marines he won the AAU national light heavyweight championship in 1965.Mac was deployed for two combat tours in the Vietnam War. After discharge from the Marines in 1966, Foster turned professional.The highlights of his career came in 1970, when he rose to #1 contender and in 1972, when he went 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali, becoming the only man at that time, other than Joe Frazier, George Chuvalo, and Ernie Terrell to have gone 15 rounds with Ali.Mac’s career was in no way impacted by his military service - he had never boxed prior to joining the Marines, so the military service launched his career and certainly did not interrupt it.Further, his service in Vietnam was before he ever became a professional or even a serious amateur.Secondly, Ali was out of boxing for 1,315 days, almost 4 years, not 3Ali was prevented from boxing after March 22, 1967, until he finally was allowed to return 3 years, 8 months and 4 days later on October 26, 1970.While his license was formally suspended on April 28, 1967, he had been effectively suspended after his last fight until the draft matter was resolved.Third, fighters who enlisted or were drafted during WW2 were allowed to boxBoxers such as Joe Louis and Ray Robinson, who were in the service during WW2, were allowed to box exhibitions.The only major boxing figure who did not box during his military service in WW2 was Ezzard Charles, who refused to box exhibitions, demanding he be treated like every other soldier, and was sent to the front (and Charles ended up fighting two exhibitions after being ordered to do so).Fourth, the US broke the law in drafting, then charging, then convicting, AliAli had first applied for conscientious objection status in his home state in Louisville, Kentucky, per the rules of the Selective Service. The Selective Service Board in Louisville, then referred his application to the Selective Service Appeal Board. All of this took place over a year before he was ordered to report for induction.By law and Selective Service administrative regulations, once he had applied for objector status and gotten a pro forma rejection, the next step was a comprehensive background check done by the FBI, which was then forwarded to an Administrative Law Judge chosen by the Department of Justice to hold a full and fair fact-finding hearing and advise the Appeal Board how to rule.After the FBI did a lengthy background investigation, an Administrative Law Judge, in this case a man with impeccable character and 32 years experience on the bench, a man picked by the Government, heard Ali’s request for conscientious objection.The Supreme Court summed up the facts behind that hearing:“There followed a hearing on 'the character and good faith of the (petitioner's objections' before a hearing officer appointed by the Department.

It could not state its reasons, because it did not have the Judge’s fact finding, the background investigation or any of the relevant facts or findings so it could state a reason.Fifth, Ali was never going to be sent to Vietnam - the Government wanted him to fight exhibitionsAli was well aware that the Army would have put him to PR use as it had Joe Louis during WW2. In "The Greatest: my own story," Ali made clear he had no intention of contributing in any way to a war he regarded as morally wrong.The Army and Government made clear at the time of his refusal to be drafted - and in discussions with his representatives - that if he would accept being drafted, the Army would do with him what it did with Joe Louis - that he would box exhibitions and travel around doing PR stuff. He could keep and defend his title.The Cleveland Summit and Muhammad Ali: The true storyUp to his trial date, the Department of Justice offered to settle Ali’s case, assuring his attorneys in writing that they would make sure he did not serve in the combat arms or even in a combat theater. The Government never wanted him as a grunt - they wanted a PR stooge. They wanted him to agree to yield and box exhibitions for them.But Ali stood firm against both their promises and threats, so on June 20, 1967, Ali was convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years in prison, fined $10,000 and banned from boxing.

They appointed a Judge they thought would rule for them, and when that Judge, a truly moral and ethical man, found against them, they suppressed his ruling and legal and factual findings. Judge Grauman’s findings would have remained hidden forever except for the Supreme Court.Six, the entire ban on Ali from fighting because of a criminal conviction was illegalOn April 28, 1967, Ali appeared in Houston for his scheduled induction into the U.S. military. He refused to step forward when his name was called. His license to box was suspended in New York the same day and his title stripped; all other U.S. boxing commissions honored the New York suspension. Ali was unable to obtain a boxing license in the U.S. for the next three years and eight months.On September 14, 1970, Judge Walter R. Mansfield of United States District Court of New York ruled that the New York State Athletic Commission's ban on Ali:“constituted an arbitrary and unreasonable departure from the commission's established practice of granting licenses to applicants convicted of crimes or military offenses."The Judge dryly pointed out that the Commission had allowed convicted robbers, murderers and thieves to be licensed and there was absolutely no rational basis for making the rules different for Muhammad Ali.Ali’s entire exile was illegal and would have been illegal even if the draft conviction had stood.The entire premise of the question is wrongSince no top level heavyweights were drafted and send to Vietnam during the Golden Era and the only top level heavyweight in the 1960s and 1970s who served in Vietnam did so BEFORE he started boxing, the question is stupid and mean spirited.Only one other heavyweight served on active duty in the Golden Era, and that was Ken Norton, also a Marine. Ken never went to Vietnam however and as with Foster, his military service did not interfere with, or interrupt, his boxing career because he started boxing as a Marine, not before.Norton also enlisted into the Marine Corps after high school. Unlike Foster, who was a line rifleman, Norton was a manual morse intercept operator. During his time in the Marine Corps, Norton, another gifted high school athlete, took up boxingNorton won three All-Marine Heavyweight titles to Foster’s one.Ken did not serve in Vietnam and like Foster, did not see his boxing career interrupted by military service, because he never boxed before enlisting and said opening in Going the Distance he never would have been a fighter except for the Marines.The only boxer who had his career interrupted in the Golden Age was AliBig George Foreman retired in 1977, and returned in 1987, but he had never intended to return when he retired after a religious experience and gone to serve the Lord. He returned only to earn money to keep the Youth Center he had opened for street kids operating.Muhammad Ali is the only boxer in the Golden Era to have his career forcibly interrupted.CREDIT TO:Boxrec for stats, records, and rankingsClay v.
