Vietnam era deserters seek official discharge in US
Deserters abroad in New Zealand and Canada's Northwest Territories could return for an upgrade to honorable or less-than-honorable discharges. Pentagon figures show 425,000 eligible for upgrading, yet only about 40,000 applications have been filed and 20,000 upgrades issued. The lapse is blamed on publicity and follow up, despite new law extending review through January 1980 and offering health care to affected veterans.
