Soldier Sentenced To 30 Months For Refusing Vietnam Duty
Army Private Ronald Lockman was sentenced by a general court martial to 30 months at hard labor and a dishonorable discharge after refusing orders to deploy to Vietnam. The trial at Fort Mason's Presidio drew antiwar demonstrators, with seven arrests outside and MPs removing six others. Lockman, 23, maintained the war is illegal and said he would do it again. The case may go to military review and possibly the Supreme Court via habeas corpus.
