democrats ought to walk the walk and love Romney for not going over to Vietnam and killing the enemy.. after all that is their message.
Look, this nonsense is out of control: conflating political allegiance to national allegiance, or not. I enlisted and volunteered for Vietnam ... I took damage on several occasions, the sum total of which is lifetime disabilities. And I come from a flat-out socialist family.
Answering the call to duty on behalf of your nation is not the exclusive badge of the right ...
Meh, he just was trying to avoid being spat on by a certain segment of the population.
As I have reported several times previously in reference to this myth: the spitting on Vietnam vets when they returned home has been long ago debunked as a myth ... part of a campaign to discredit anti-war movement protestors at the Chicago convention (myth developed and propagated by GOP sympathetic groups).
I came home from that war and walked down Haight & Ashbury streets in S.F. in uniform during the summer of love and was greeted with hugs, flowers, and joints to smoke by the hippies. I was never once to my recollection ever spat on or even shouted at negatively.

No, not mad, just explaining that this goes for both sides and did it occur to you maybe there was a reason for this happening, if indeed he really did get deferrals? Isn't that what you called them? Did Romney go to Canada so he wouldn't have to serve?

Nita
Its not the deferrals,its about his support of the draft and him saying "I longed to go to Vietnam". It shows he has very low integrity at best.
