Yeah, jailed by a heretic for disagreement with said heretic,
wasn't he?
Then, he didn't really want to bear arms in the first place...

"He was still an unbaptized catechumen when he was forced to join the army at 15. The Roman army apparently had a law that required sons of veterans to serve in the military. Still, Martin found this so far removed from his desire to be a Christian monk that he had to be held in chains before taking the military oath. Once the oath was administered he felt bound to obey..."

Different strokes...
I admire the courage of his convictions.

Not to take the thread too far afield, I find his story to be a good example of a young man choosing what he perceives as the harder right over the easier wrong.
If you want to be effective
An effective way to protest would be to get a fax, letter and email campaign going to two parties:
The provost and Chancellor of St. Martins.
Academia is a pretty top-down organization, and it's captained by men and women that mostly haven't got a lot of backbone. Those men and women in the top positions know their jobs are political and they like the money they make and their personal parking spots on campus. I can tell you that if they think they are sitting on a publicity bomb that they will make Dr. Price's life quite unpleasant. ;) Seriously. In practice, I think that there is more freedom of speech in the Army than on campus.
Academics make a big show of how courageous they are politically, but in most cases it's just a show. Price is probably no exception. :D
You could request also that Nagl be allowed to have his response printed in the same academic journals that Price frequents.
If you want to be effective as opposed to complaining. :)
