Would you go to war for your country? Millions of people do. But occasionally, some refuse to fight. They're known as conscientious objectors(拒服兵役者). One of the most famous from the USA is Muhammad Ali.
Muhammad Ali was a professional boxer and one of the most outstanding sports figures of the 20th century. He was born on 17th January 1942 in Louisville ( Kentucky) and began training as an amateur boxer when he was 12 years old. At the age of 18 , he won a gold medal in the light heavy-weight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. He turned professional later that year. At the age of 22, he became the world heavyweight champion.
In 1965, he converted to Islam(伊斯兰教) and officially changed his name to Muhammad Ai. Shortly after, he was called up for military service to fight in the Vietnam War. He was firmly against the idea. "My enemy is the white people, not the Viet Cong(越共) ," he explained. "You may oppose when I want freedom. You may oppose when I want justice. You may oppose when I want equality…You want me to go somewhere and fight, but you won't even stand up for me here at home?"
After refusing to enlist during a sign - up ceremony in April 1967, Muhammad was arrested.
He was found guilty of draft evasion, and deprived of his boxing titles. As a result, he didn't fight from March 1967 to October 1970. He later became a symbol of the anti - war movement and racial injustice. In 1971, his conviction was overturned by the US Supreme Court. Muhammad Ali died on 3rd June 2016.
