In order for the two amnesties to be equivalent Carter would have had to give not only a blanket, i.e. absolutely no conditions attached, pardon to every civilian that evaded the draft by going to Canada, but also to every serviceman that went AWOL during the course of the war.
There is no historical analogue to what the United States Senate and this administration are now doing.
They are effectively stabbing their own country in its proverbial heart, and then twisting the knife.
To dismiss the inevitable consequences of this abomination by comparing it to something that is not analogous only diminishes the severity of what they are doing.
I didn't "dismiss' anything - I asked 2 simple questions - Carter's amnesty to draft dodgers WAS "blanket" and all you had to do for the desertion amnesty was fill out some paperwork. Of course there were differences - that's what makes it an "analogy" rather than "exactly the same" (I thought you weren't going to respond to me anymore because I don't "get it"?).
