Guardsman to Sue Government over Discharge Threat
James Cleary a 36 year old World War II Navy veteran from Centereach threatens to sue both state and federal governments if the National Guard discharges him. He says the move would cost him a $92 weekly civilian post at a Nike guided missile site near Brookville and jeopardize his home. Cleary claims his discharge stems from an “erroneous enlistment” and argues civilian eligibility at the Nike base favors guardsmen. He vows to pursue legal action if the discharge proceeds.
