Romney was able to avoid the draft because of his lds mission trip to France.
Gingrich had a medical deferment because of flat feet, and poor eye sight plus his was married and had children, in college which at that time was another kind of deferment.
You said Paul is the military’s friend then why does he want to defund the military to almost nothing for the defense of America.

This is a canard.

Romney could have volunteered after his LDS obligation. Instead he walked away comfortably.

Gingrich could have volunteered when he was 17, long before marriage. The Army would have found him an MOS to compensate for his disabilities.

Moreover, Gingrich’s marriage, as we found out later, was not really that sincere.

Ron Paul 2012 ... strong on America’s defense - no entangling alliances.
