Soldier Refuses Arms Faces Prison Over Conscience
An Army court martial convicted Pvt. Adam H. Weber of refusing to bear arms on religious and personal grounds. Weber, a New Orleans native who studied for the priesthood, argued his beliefs made him unable to fight in Vietnam and asked to serve as a medic. He received one year in prison with reduction in pay and possible further time, while defense contended his induction promised no killing.
