Even the National Enquirer gets it right sometime... Or do you always attack the messenger?
I think anyone in office deciding on war needs to have their children/grandchildren enrolled first ....might make them think twice about their choices.
Seems MR isn't the only Repug that did all they could to avoid war....

If I recall, Palin's son was in the military. Was it important to you then? She would be about the only one.
Kerry got a Silver Star and Gore served as an enlisted man in the Army, but I'm not sure they would have been better than NO FLY Bush. I can't remember when I voted FOR someone rather than a choice between Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber
Usually liberals argue that religious rights can be protected against a draft or war -- starting with liberal Jeannette Rankin. I guess with Obama in the office, Democrats have been encouraged to flip on a lot of positions and values.
Usually Conservatives argue that religioous rights do not supercede wartime emergency and should not be protected against a draft or war--
I guess with Obama in Office, Republicans have been encouraged to flip a lot of positions and values.
Romney could have enlisted as a Concientious Objector and served as a medic
Why are you thinking for yourself? Don't you know it does matter that millions of people did not go to Vietnam, at least that's what the left want you to think.....does not matter what they were doing...
See, this is the typical leftist thinking. They have NOTHING else to run on, so they have to find "Stuff" to try to slam Romney, even if they have to go back almost 50 years.....
Read the previous posts. Plenty of people didn't serve in Vietnam. The issue is hypocrisy.
It's the rightist chest-beaters who could have served but didn't. Always willing to send others off to die for their own security (or their portfolios). Why do conservatives embrace this attitude?
The left (and true Christians) hates hypocrisy in itself as a sin - but for conservatives it's just business and being pragmatic - "getting yours". The Ayn Rand philosophy - if you must serve, then that's your problem, so don't bother me with it.

You mean like that rightist chest beater Obam is doing now?

No, you are making a fantasy example. I've never heard a Republican say that there should not be religious exemptions for a draft. I have heard Democrats talk of religious exemptions - including for Obamacare.
Democrats flip flopping for Obama.
