paxamericana Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm under the assumption that there were something like 40,000 draft dodgers that went to live in Canada. My proposal is to have them serve some sort of symbolic house arrest for desertion and allow them to reapply for citizen ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlus Magnus Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Is this somehow a problem ? Are there a bunch of Draft Dodgers trying to get back into the US and cannot? I haven't heard this issue brought up for a long, long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army Guy Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think over all things balanced out, we got your draft dodgers, and you got some great Canadians to fill in the gaps.... https://canadianmilitary.page.tl/-Vietnam.htm https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/lost-to-history-the-canadians-who-fought-in-vietnam-1.3304440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofavs Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 On January 21, 1977 President Jimmy Carter pardoned the draft dodgers and made good his campaign promise to grant unconditional pardons to those who fled the U.S. to evade the draft during the war in Viet Nam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofavs Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I find it odd this passed the 'effort' test of starting a topic. Get it, moderator ? Of course you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
