Although the general nature of
yesterday's editorial "The Army's
Duty" is correct, several factual
corrections should be made. First,
if I had been found guilty and
dropped from the program, I would
have been drafted, but in June, I
have no reason to believe the ROTC
department would have requested
my board to draft me "right away."
Secondly the only statement which
was discussed was the "Oath of
Commission" which every officer
must sign prior to his commissioning.
The examining board made
no specific mention of "the Army's
interpretation" of the Constitution,
but did ask me if I would support
"the average man's" interpretation.
Considering the ambiguity of this
phrase I agreed I could support it.
Aside from these corrections, I
believe the editorial represents the
true nature of the experience.
