Didn't Carter also pardon one of the Puerto Rican nationalists who tried to assassinate Harry Truman? As I recall, the guy killed at least one secret service agent or uniformed guard on the steps of Blair House. If Carter would pardon a murderer, why not pardon Kerry and restore his rank and medals?
I don't recall that story but you could be right. I was a young thang when Cahtuh was in office.
