Almost all of Romney's children are of age to serve or volunteer for the armed services, yet, none of them have enlisted.
Why do you think this is?
Romney seems all to willing to send others off to fight wars, why wouldn't he encourage his kids to go fight?
After all, even offspring of prominent officials in the UK have their offspring involved in ME wars.

Because they have enough money to go to college without needing / wanting the military to pay for it..

Dah....

As for your bs about Romney seeming willing to send others to fight wars, I havent heard that, other than from left wing kooks.

Care to quote Romney?

Why should they? Is that something you would base your vote on?

dah, or duh. Royalty seems to encourage their offspring to fight in wars, and they're not exactly uneducated, they have college educations too.

There is a huge difference between Royalty, and families that are business oriented.

No. Not everyone's daddy has $250 million sitting in a Swiss Bank account and can afford to pay for their child's tuition the way Mitt can.

Whats the point of the thread if you knew the answer?

Oh please, you progressive liberals just have to find something to pick on no matter how dumb it is, and this OP is pretty dumb...

Young adults from both parties haven't volunteered to join the military....

So your point is?

Why should we Americans even give a second thought about "offspring of prominent officials in the UK have their offspring involved in ME wars."

First off it was a blind trust managed by his lawyer...

Second that Swiss bank account was closed in 2010...

I wish you progressive liberals would take a look at what michelle obama has spent (errr, I mean taxpayer money) on her round the world trips (hint: in the millions)........

AT least Romney made his money, not like the obamas who leeched their money from the taxpayers....

Because they don't need a free college education.

If anyone has served, they know there are two large groups of folks. Those who want to go to college, and those that can't find a job and do it to feed a young family.

There are some patriotic enlistees, but they are the minority.
