Nor have any of his five sons since you mentioned it. At least they aren’t draft dodgers though.

In the 170 year history of the Romneys in America, no Romney male has ever served our nation in uniform.

While Mitt's father was running to be commander in chief of our armed forces during the Vietnam War, Mitt was getting deferments from Salt Lake City and living in France.

While Mitt was running to be our commander in chief for two wars, his sons stayed away from the enlistment offices.

When asked about his 5 strapping military age sons, Romney replied “one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected,”

ROMNEY IN 1994 "I was not planning on signing up for the military. It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam..."
Boston Herald, 5/2/94

THE NEW ROMNEY IN 2007 "I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam." Boston Globe, 6/24/07
