Supreme Court scolded over Vietnam war legality question
Justice Potter Stewart urged the court to hear the case of three army privates who argued that sending them to Vietnam could make them war criminals.

The piece suggests keeping military matters from the court may serve national interests, yet the debate remains highly temptingly susceptible to judicial weighing.
