Welsh becomes wartime objector after landmark draft ruling
Elliott Ashton Welsh II, a Beverly Hills stockbroker, was granted conscientious objector status by the Supreme Court eight years after refusing to be sworn into the Army. He cites deep moral objections to war, particularly the Vietnam War, and says he remains unaligned with any church. His parents supported him, and he recalls his induction-day hesitation and legal battles that led to the landmark decision. Welsh notes the ruling changes nothing for his age but affirms his beliefs. His wife and young children were mentioned as supportive.
