Draft Evasion Critique by Veterans Leader and Author
Gen. Lew Walt condemns Jimmy Carter's blanket Vietnam draft pardon in Penthouse, arguing amnesty risks a dangerous precedent. Louis A. Fanning's Betrayal in Vietnam is praised for indicting executive and congressional failures, citing quotes from Kennedy, McGovern, Harris, Bayh, and others that supported war aims without clear victory. The piece questions the moral logic of conscripting youths for a war with no finish line and notes that draft evasion becomes understandable when laws are enforced without patriotic purpose.
