Veterans of 1898 protest youth draft opposition in Vietnam era
Washington AP reports Spanish American War veterans, led by James H. McElroy, denounce younger antiwar and draft resistance advocates. They emphasize patriotism, support for Hershey’s selective service stance, and pride in a short 1898 war that gained Cuba independence and U.S. territories. The group cites pensions and medical benefits as ongoing concerns as its ranks thin with age.
