Nen-Fightin- g The military mind seems at times to operate with such inflexibility one wonders how it ever manages to win a battle in the face of constantly changing tactical situations Some months ago the case of Private Adam R Weber Jr a young draftee came to public attention On the ground of conscientious objection to killing he had asked to be assigned as a combat medic but instead was sent to Viet Nam When he refused to accept a rifle issued to him he was court martialed and sentenced to a year in prison The young man insisted on his loyalty to the United States and his willingness to serve his country in the hazardous role of a non - fighting medic Now another case has come to public notice Private Edward T Conners who enlisted in the Army at 16 was shipped to Viet Nam and assigned to a machine gun with which he was unfamiliar Whether for that reason or fright he was unable --- to fire the weapon Ultimately he was 'Don't Worry—I'll Put You on Your Feet - 1 charged with disobeying an order was and sentenced to two years at hard :abor in Leavenworth Prison Conners pleaded guilty admitting: "I just can't face it out there?: ' His real "crime'' apparently was not disobedience but sheer inability to re- spond due to fear court-martial- ed - Now admittedly the Army cannot permit fear to spread so widely as to break down battlefield discipline and endanger the lives of other soldiers But it is nothing new for an individual to crack under the stress of combat and if it is a case of psychological shock rather than sheer cowardice it should be dealt with as such There are tasks enough either as front line medics or behind the lines suppliers for those soldiers who forconscien- tious or psychological reasons cannot stomach combat duty And there is not such a surplus of men able and willing to serve in positions that the nation can afford to send willing but non -
