Funny how things work out. Another Winter Warrior went on to be a Senator and Secretary of State.

Here is the rest of the story as far as time served by Henry H. Howe SP5 Mark Kuzinski.
"Second Lt. Henry H. Howe, Jr., was sentenced to 2 years at hard labor (later reduced to one year) because of charges of "conduct unbecoming an officer" and using "contemptuous words against the President." He had carried a sign which read, "Let's Have More Than A Choice Between Petty Ignorant Fascists in 1968," and "End Johnson Fascist Agression in Vietnam."
Signs of the times "At Fort Dix, New Jersey, Regulation 210-27, titled "Installations Unauthorized Publications," signed by Col. R. B. Purrington, AGC, prohibits distribution of printed matter "in bad taste," "prejudicial to good order," "subversive," etc.
When a peace demonstration was scheduled outside the base, all GI's at the Army post were forced to sign an affidavit pledging to obey this regulation before being issued weekend passes. A subsequent regulation demands that all Fort Dix GI's apply for and get permission before taking part in any off-base peace meeting or demonstrations, whether in or out of uniform. Both regulations have been challenged."
