Ford had hoped amnesty would bring the torn country together, but many Americans who had served in Vietnam or lost relatives there were outraged. Hundreds of veterans sent medals earned in Vietnam and other wars to Ford as gifts of protest.
This wasn't one of Urbansky's major points about how Ford led us somehow ineluctably to (horror!) the Clinton presidency, as far as I could tell, but as I wrote above, his logic was very hard to follow.
