1978 and 1957 were different eras. Reminds me of the NCOs being surprised that Alvin York owned a rifle.

NCOs being surprised that Alvin York owned a rifle.

York was drafted during World War I; he initially claimed conscientious objector status on the grounds that his denomination forbade violence.

Maybe that was the reason?
