Military records concerning
Rackstraw reveal he received
a discharge under honorable
conditions on June 21, 1971,
because of resignation in
lieu of elimination because
of unfitness or unacceptable
conduct. He was a 1st Lieutenant
in the U. S. Army at the time
of discharge. Examination of
his background by the Army
showed he had been convicted
and placed on probation for
burglary on two occasions,
April 14, 1958, and
December 20, 1957, and had also
been arrested for using false
identification and destruction
of jail property on October 23,
1963, which resulted in his
bail forfeiture of $144.00,
on November 4, 1963. Rackstraw
also falsely claimed college
degrees when filling out
applications to the Army. He
also admitted to the Army
that he had been arrested by
Military Police on August 4,
1969, for wrongful appropriation
of Military property in the
taking of a ¼ ton truck in
Huloi, Republic of Viet Nam.
He received training in weapons,
explosives, and hand-to-hand
combat while in the Military.
In one statement to the Army he
wrote, "I can only hope that I
will never use the training and
education the Army gave me
against the Army itself, as I
would be a formidable advisary."
