You're "sure" of so many things you really don't know. In this case, you're wrong. There's a window of time during which, if you're going to serve at all, you must do so.

The same people who do this hold all Mormons responsible for everything that any individual Mormon does, every Muslim responsible for everything that any individual Muslim does, every gay or lesbian responsible for everything that any individual gay or lesbian does. When will people ever learn to stop generalizing, and start judging people on their own actions?

The last vet who served as Prez was GWB, the last COMBAT vet was his dad GHWB. Either way, who cares if Romney or Obama served. If that is in your criteria, then you won't be voting this November.

Strange that a Mormon and/or Christian would make this type of comment. Your religious beliefs are based on the idea of collective blame and punishment for an entire planet because one woman ate an apple.

Mormons don't believe in the doctrine of Original Sin (like "real" Christians do). We believe that we'll be punished for our own sins, not for Adam's. That's 'cause God's not a bigot either.

The Agreement to end the war in Iraq was signed before Bush left Office.
