During Vietnam Mitt was using his daddy's money to stay in school. When he could no longer use his educational deferment he went to France under the guise of working for the Mormon church recruiting new members and passing out Mormon literature. Like father like son not one of his sons served in any of our military services.
We have all heard Mitt beat the war drums. He is itching to go to war with Iran. He would have no problem sending our children and grandchildren to war while his own children enjoy the peace of being safe and sound in the US.

President Obama didn't serve in the military, either. However, Willard Romney has shown disrespect for our military and military families. Whereas, the President and Mrs. Obama have made the forces and their family a principal concern.

HUH, where. Now you are getting just like your dear leader, Obama. Throwing empty words around without any proof. Just hoping no one will check out the lie.

Can you quote Romney's praise of our servicemen and women in Afghanistan, for instance, during the RNC?

Like sending form letters to soldier's families killed in action?

I don't blame Romney for avoiding Vietnam. I do blame him for arguing in favor of a draft, then skipping out on it. It's hypocritical, and it's cowardly. OK, he was young - but he could have expressed some regret for either one action or the other.

The RNC's overlooking of the wars is definitely a problem.

Heck, they're trying to pretend that BUSH never happened.

McCain was a war hero and look how much that helped him get elected to president.

That's why they did a tribute to him at the RNC
