Soldier held for duty duty freed by appeals court
A federal appeals court in San Francisco ordered the immediate return of Private Richard Beaty to duty and his discharge after ruling his prolonged wait at home for Army orders was unconstitutional. Beaty, a Porterville, California native, had remained home from Feb 1967 to Feb 1969 while awaiting orders that never arrived, despite an earlier Pentagon guidance and local sergeant advice. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a district court ruling and mandated Beaty be brought home and discharged as the Army acknowledged a paperwork foulup and miscommunication in his deployment timeline.
