Reservists labeled copouts challenge Army call up
A group of 300 Army reservists from the 448th Postal Unit in Garden City New York and others led by Richard Kronenberg contest the call up to active duty arguing their contracts require a war declaration or national emergency. They say they seek their day in court and would go to Vietnam if required. Several, including Joe Don Looney, have appealed to the Supreme Court while others face orders and stays. Some enlisted men defend duty while others warn they shirk moral obligations. A separate note: Royal Nepal Airlines offers journalists 25 percent fare cuts and freight concessions for professional work.
