Yep....amnesty for draft dodgers. It’s why Kerry’s discharge papers are dated much, much later than his original departure.

My belief is that Kerry was given a discharge under less than honorable conditions because of his public anti-war activism while STILL technically on active duty. I believe when Carter’s amnesty program was implemented, he got his discharge upgraded...hence the later date.

“Yep. Amnesty for draft dodgers.”

Jimmy Carter’s amnesty for draft dodgers gave so-called anti-war activists the cojones to condemn those who served.

The “baby killer”, “knuckle-dragging”, “stupid and ignorant” memes of the left gained traction after that and the left enjoyed a victory that would last for generations.

One hopes that this past election is only the beginning of the complete and total prevention of the communist revolutionaries in camouflage from manipulating the levers of power in the U.S.

IMHO
