The Vietnam War produced 170,000 conscientious objecters; 22,000 draft dodgers indicted; over 8,000 men convicted; and approximately 4,000 of them imprisoned. If the remaining hundreds of thousands of men weren't pardoned, there wouldn't be any room left in our prisons for other criminals. Economics said yes, pardon them.
