Questions About Romney’s Sons and Military Service
By MICHAEL LUO

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — It is a question that Mitt Romney has gotten before on the campaign trail. Sometimes it is asked innocently; sometimes with a clear edge.

A woman at an Ask Mitt Anything forum earlier today in Iowa raised the question again, asking whether any of Mr. Romney’s five sons are serving in the military, adding pointedly, “If none of them are, how do they plan to support this war on terrorism by enlisting in our U.S. military?”

Although his campaign said his remarks were taken out of context, Mr. Romney’s response is drawing criticism, because he said, in part, “one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected.”

This is a seminar question that that fat pile of excrement Michael Moore pioneered. When is some one in politico land have the guts to answer “the US armed forces is an all volunteer force. What part of the word volunteer do you not understand. Individuals determine whether they wish to embrace the very unique sacrifices and rewards of the armed forces. They are not dragooned into uniform. Would you prefer the latter?”
