There are other kinds of pardons relating to military service that have nothing to do with the draft or Selective Service. Check this:

"Mr. Carter invoked his powers as commander in chief and ordered that the "bad paper" military discharges of hundreds of thousands of deserters, malcontents and nonperformers be mandatorily upgraded, so long as they met one of six easily attained criteria."

The following link pertains to the draft and Selective Service:

"Pardons Granted to Evaders of Vietnam War (1977): Carter grants full pardons to the Americans who fled to Canada to avoid being drafted for the Vietnam War."
