I could easily make the same argument that the cowards were those too afraid to stand up to the government for what was right.
Sure, you can dream up anything you please but the fact of the matter was not taking the step forward would land you in Leavenworth for 5 years and if you survived that (draft-dodgers got jumped and rightfully so), your life on the outside would be ruined. Clay would have gotten the same kind of duty as Elvis did....a gig in Germany putting on boxing exhibits. Instead he spit in his country's face. I'm a codger and lived through all that somehow....I don't forget and I don't forgive what he did.
