Testimony on amnesty at Kennedy panel hearings
Conscientious objectors, deserters, and relatives testify on amnesty amid opposing views. Supporters like Rev. Alexander C. Wilson and historian Henry Steele Commager urge sweeping amnesty to erase past offenses and reset, while Vietnam veteran James R. Kerns argues amnesty ignores accountability for evading or deserting. Kennedy notes strong public reaction and questions whether peace at home warrants peace with returning soldiers.
