I do agree that Muhammad Ali probably would have been made a public relations mouthpiece for the war and not seen any combat.
Maybe, how knows? Ted Williams was a star baseball player and served three years during WWII and was called back to active duty during the Korea war/police action. He flew in 39 combat missions. He didn't want to go either, nor did most that were drafted.
