19. A man who sacrificed the best years of his live as a boxer over his belief about the
war in Vietnam

He could have boxed for the Army propaganda machine and never held a rifle and refused to do so.

He is the real hero.

20. Haha, I was just about to ask "who are those weirdos with him"...
until I read the rest of your message. Luckily you weren't the weirdo who caught my eye. It was more the funny looks on the faces of the three guys on the left. The Planet Hollywood twins and their slack jawed brother in the back. I apologize in advance if you know those guys. :+

38. That's awesome!
I'm not a boxing fan, but he has led an amazing life, and I respect the courage he has shown, both in opposing war and in living with his medical condition. He has a lot of respect across party lines.
