Carter criticized for blanket draft pardon plan
The piece argues President Carter should enforce the draft law rather than grant a blanket pardon for Vietnam era draft dodgers. It contrasts Ford’s 1974 clemency program with Carter’s approach, warns of a dangerous precedent, and stresses respect for law as democracy’s foundation. It notes over 113,000 eligible under Ford and 22,000 applied, and cites 55,000 U.S. deaths in Vietnam.

Carter offered little immediate stance while stressing consultation and authority rests with Ford until inauguration.
