Just curious, have any of Mitt Romney's relatives ever served in the armed forces of the United States? I'm aware that none of his sons have seen fit to bother, but what about others in his lineage?

Do you really want to go there?

The obvious response is have any Obamas' ever served in the military?

BHO certainly never bothered.

There hasn't been a president who served since Bush Sr. Personally, I think serving should be a requirement to be President.

My goodness, the left is grasping at absolutely everything these days.

From this thread, to "Look, in Wisconsin, a CAR WASH took a poll and Walker is out" you lefties need to realize what is about to happen....next month and November.

Bush Jr. served in the Texas National Guard.

Of course Obama never served, so Obama supporters certainly shouldn't bash Romney for not having served (much less his sons, who are NOT him).

I don't see any Obama supporters bashing Romney. I see one person asking a simple question.

But his grandfather and his uncle did on his mothers side. They were both World War II vets. I commend them for their services to our country, especially on Memorial Day.

Unless somebody comes up with some research about Mitt Romney's family that proves different; that's a hell of lot more than Mitt Romney can say.

I despise Mitt Romney but since when should Obama be seen in a different light because someone in his family served in the Armed Forces before he was even born? He didn't do it and I don't care if every one in his family has served. He doesn't get a Gold Star for that.

Also, let's not forget about Romney comparing his sons working on his campaign to people serving the country 4 years ago when he ran for office.

And they are no BHO, or his father.

The OP is merely a bait thread with a preconceived (by the poster) answer.
