I assure you that if Clinton or Carter died, they would get the same respect. Now just because you are not familiar with the Ford presidency and what he did in his short time in office doesn't mean he didn't do anything.
Right or wrong he made a number of historical decisions while in office. Like the Nixon pardon (prolly smart as it put the country past all the shit that was to follow). He knew he'd take it in the shorts on that.
Withdrawing troops and as many South Vietnamese as possible to end the Vietnam war is another Ford move.
Read this (all of it) and then comment.
