Stamp on military discharges sparks clash in Senate
The Pentagon stamps SPN3 4 on records of servicemen discharged for drug use, branding them as DRUG USERS to inform employers. Senator Hughes condemns the practice as lifelong branding, while Assistant Defense Secretary Wilbur argues it aids employers and that drug abuse is a disease. Discharges for drug abuse rose about 40 percent in 1971.
