Yes but then CIC Carter gave all the dodgers a free pass. Talk about a kick in the teeth.
Just a day after Jimmy Carter's inaguration, he followed through on a contentious campaign promise, granting a presidential pardon to those who had avoided the draft during the Vietnam war by either not registering or traveling abroad.

His DD214 on departing from EAD shows "Block 13b - NO DISCHARGE CERTIFICATE ISSUED AT THE TIME OF SEPARATION", because he, like most reserve officers leaving AD, remained in the reserves. He was finally issued an honorable discharge when the Navy ended his reserve service in 1978.
Nothing unusual, except one has to wonder why candidate Kerry didn't resign his commission in '72 when his reserve obligation was over. |
