POWs were Prisoners of War. They did not require pardoning. You may be confusing them with deserters or draft resisters that were pardoned by Jimmy Carter.
About '73, Nixon asked congress for an extension until we got all of POWs out of North Vietnam, and that was in '73.
President Richard Nixon is often associated with the conclusion of the Vietnam War, as he initiated the policy of "Vietnamization," which aimed to reduce American involvement and transfer combat responsibilities to South Vietnamese forces. However, it was not a single president who "defeated" the POWs; rather, the war ended with the fall of Saigon in 1975, after Nixon had resigned in 1974. The last American POWs were released in 1973 following the Paris Peace Accords, which Nixon helped negotiate.
Richard Nixon was against the Vietnam War!
Nearly all of the US POWs were airmen shot down while on bombing missions over North Vietnam. Therefore, that's were they were imprisoned when they were captured...in various prisons located through-out NORTH Vietnam.

No, Richard Nixon did not pardon John McCain. John McCain was a prisoner of war in Vietnam and was never charged with any crime that would require a pardon. Nixon, as President, did issue pardons for various individuals, most notably for those involved in the Watergate scandal, but McCain was not among them.
