    He didn't "dodge" the draft. He went to jail. People who hid or ran to Canada or Europe or got waivers due to their politically connected families "dodged" the draft.

    he went to jail for refusing to go to the war. sounds to me like a draft dodger.

    He didn't dodge the draft. he was drafted, showed up, refused induction, and accepted the consequences

    Besides, it is patriotic to dodge the draft.

    Doubt he didn't go to Viet Nam because he was being "Patriotic"... and it's a disgrace that they let him light the Olympic Torch in Atlanta.

    Quoth the Joe Frazier fan nevermore:)

    He didn't go to Vietnam because "those people never did nothing to him" or at least that was basically his position. That is patriotic in the traditional sense prior to it being co-opted to be the equivalent of nationalism. He stood for freedom and peace. Yeah, can see why you'd be against him lighting the torch...
