The country that once welcomed war resisters

No. It was an administration (Carter) that welcomed war resisters. Most of us Americans thought they were either very questionable or outright despicable.

Canadian policy during the Vietnam War was identical to US policy from 1939-1942; draft evaders were allowed to stay while deserters were extradited on request.

Yep, that’s how I saw it. If my number had come up, I would have served.

I despised the Left so much in those days. My folks never had to explain it to me. The Left was so anti-American I couldn’t have possibly joined the Democrat party.

jimmy carters very first act as President was to forgive and grant amnesty to the Viet Nam war draft dodgers. I never forgave him for that.
