President Jimmy Carter granted amnesty to draft dodgers in 1977. This policy allowed individuals who had evaded the military draft during the Vietnam War to apply for a pardon, reflecting a desire to heal the divisions caused by the war. The amnesty was part of Carter's broader efforts to promote national reconciliation.

Why did president carter grant amnesty to Vietnam era soldiers who had dodged the draft?

Because President Lydon Johnson had lied to American people about the second Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1965, the USA fought the war with no clear objective on how to win it, and because the war ended in 1975 when President Gerald Ford gave up on the incompetent and worthless government of South Vietnam which was defeated in 60 days by North Vietnam. It was time to put the war behind the USA and to get on with the business of healing the nation.
