LOUIS FONT, U.S.
ARMY: My background is Puerto Rican.

I was born in
New York City.

When I was 17
years old, I entered the United States Military Academy at Westpoint.

I graduated with
honors and the Army sent me to graduate school at Harvard University, to
the Kennedy School of Government. I was there for a year and a half, at
which point I wrote to the Army and said that I would refuse to serve in
the Vietnam War.

[West Pointer
From Kansas Objects to War, Wants Out]

I came to
believe it was a war of aggression by the United States against the
Vietnamese.
