Muhammad Ali, world heavyweight boxing champion, refuses induction (involuntary servitude) into the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries).  Later in the day, the World Boxing Association and New York Athletic Commission strip Ali of his title and boxing license, depriving him of his unalienable right to earn a living (pursue happiness), inside the nation.

       Question: Why does one need a boxing license, when no license is required to play baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf, soccer, tennis, et cetera?

       United states Army General William C. Westmoreland (private mercenary), commander of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, addressing a joint session of the Democratic (socialist/fascist) 27th counterfeit CONgress (elected in accordance with the fraudulent 17th amendment) says, 

       For months now we have been successful in destroying a number of main force units.  We will continue to seek out the enemy, catch him off guard, and punish him at every opportunity

       This enemy also uses terror-murder, mutilation, abduction, and the deliberate shell1ng of innocent men, women, and children-to exercise control through fear.  Terror, which he employs daily, is much harder to counter than his best conventional moves

       Given the nature of the enemy, it seems to me that the strategy that we are following at this time is the proper one, and that it is producing results.  While he obviously is far from quitting, there are signs that hjs morale and his military structure are beginning to deteriorate

       [I]n their determination to resist the Communists, the Vietnamese have built an effective military force.

       What I see now in Vietnam is a military force that performs with growing professional skill.  During the last 6 months, Vietnamese troops have scored repeated successes against some of the best Vietcong and North Vietnamese army units.  Perhaps more important in this total effort is the support given by the Vietnamese military to the Government’s nation-building, or revolutionary development program.  Nearly half of the Vietnamese Army is now engaged in, or training for, this vital program which will improve the lot of the people.

       As I have said before, in evaluating the enemy strategy it is evident to me that he believes our Achilles’ heel is our resolve.  Your continued strong support is vital to the success of our mission.

       Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen in Vietnam are the finest ever fielded by our Nation. …

       These men understand the conflict and their complex roles as :fighters and as builders.  They believe in what they are doing.  They are determined to provide the shield of security behind which the Republic of Vietnam can develop and prosper for its own sake and for the future and freedom of all Southeast Asia.

       Backed at home by resolve, confidence, patience, determination, and continued support, we will prevail in Vietnam over the Communist aggressor.
