He still never joined. I don't like using the "he never served" in order to make Republicans look like hypocrites. Kerry supporters did the same thing to Bush. There is no need to call Romney names just because you disagree with him on the draft. I disagree and I'm not calling him names. It sounds like someone has a case of class envy.
OK, "jax47", quit trolling. You had us believing you really were a hard right conservative, but then you went too far in trying to insist that Obama not enlisting for Vietnam as a grade schooler was actually comperable to romney's failure to enlist as a college student. Nice try there, but no sentient person says something THAT stupid. Nice try, joke sock. Now quit posting as a fake conservative or else.
No I said that I'm tired of the left using military service as a way to make conservatives look hypocritical. By saying that Obama "still didn't serve" I meant ever not during Vietnam. The left in our country has been doing this ever since Bush ran in 2000.
Speaking as a conservative and as a veteran- I believe it is a legitimate point... neither served but for some one to advocate a nation-building war I believe it is hypocritical not to have served when able...I was sent to Vietnam by men who won world wars. Now men and women ares ent to Afghanistan by men who got five deferments...and those people approach it with an elitist perspective
What I want to say is- Mr. Romney if not you or your sons who should serve in a war you believe in? I do not belive that if you did not serve you can not support military action but those who do not serve do not understand the toll it takes...even on volunteers. This is the same as the DADT debate- I watched Saxby Chambliss- the man who compared MAX CLELAND to Hussein- give a lecture on how military life is very different from civilian life...this coming from a man who sought and was grantd multiple deferments in the late 60s...pathetic
