In this episode, Jonathan Amarilio interviews Cary Donham about his experience as the United States Military Academy at West Point's first and only conscientious objector, as chronicled in his recent memoir, “A Wrinkle in the Long Gray Line: When Conscience and Convention Collided.” After three successful years at the military academy in the late 1960's, Donham requested discharge as a conscientious objector from the Army, citing his religious and moral beliefs. When his request was denied, he filed suit in federal court and eventually prevailed, receiving an honorable discharge. This episode delves into Donham's personal journey and his court battle to be recognized by the U.S. Army as a conscientious objector.
