This Day in the History of Forgiving the Shirkers Who Tresspass Against Us
On this day in 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned unconditionally the several hundred thousand Viet Nam era draft dodgers, nearly 100,000 of which had fled the country, mostly to Canada. Modern lefties are very hard on those who did not serve actively in Viet Nam in the 60s and 70s, calling them 'chickenhawks,' however it was the lefty ideal to avoid the draft and a lefty who pardoned those who did; additionally, the last Democrat president avoided the draft illegally. Both President Bush and his last opponent Senator Kerry (D-MA) avoided the draft by joining the reserves of the air force and navy respectively. Kerry's outfit was nationalized and he went to war. Bush's outfit was not. What a chickenhawk!
