Thank you. It seems like he got good advice.

LOL!

Good grief. Someone tell the man to stop sounding like John Kerry.

Much appreciation for all the good guys who truly did serve in Vietnam.

There is more to Mitt's talking about his own, completely imaginary, experience in Southeast Asia.

Since Mitt has no record of being in the service, I wonder is he trying acquire Viet Nam veteran following by his so called imaginary experience?

What is next, he imagines he played for the RED SOX in 1967 or was a Stock Driver in 1963?

Recruit a following by "imagining" Mitt.

and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam."

So instead of "Didja know John Kerry was in Vietnam ?" we have "Didja know Mitt Romney thought he was in Vietnam ?"

Ping!

I’m not familiar with his Dad’s claim of being brainwashed. Can anyone explain that to me?

Regarding Mitt’s sons (and probably Mitt, too), LDS males at 18 tend to be more focused on church missions than the military. It makes recruiting in Utah a tough assignment.

Very frankly, I don’t care WHO does it- someone should remind us all, and educate the younger members, as to just what happened in VietNma from 1973-1975 and how the demonRATs want to do to Iraq what they did to SVN. How they turned their backs on an ally after WE lost “a brace of kinsmen” to keep them out of communist hands; how the dems HANDED SVN to the North (I believe they wanted the north to win all along- fellow travelers, don’cha know); how, in one fell swoop, they made the loss of 58000 soldiers absolutely meaningless (I think they wanted THAT, too); and how they set SE Asia up to be a killing field- ALL in the name of Marxism; and how they have used the ghosts of VietNam to beat our “American-ess” nearly to death.

Yes indeed- I am ALL for ANYONE bringing up THAT history.

This article sounds just like the Democrat's argument that GWB wasn't as good as Kerry since he had only served in the Guard and NOT on active duty.

What a load of crap!!!

Nowhere in the Constitution does it require military service in order to be President...or any other office that's elected for that matter.

This Vietnam Vet could care less if he served in the Military or not....or wether his children have.

What I would want to know is wether or not he would SUPPORT those in the military.

Ranting at the guy for not being in the military is stupid.
