“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.”

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.

NO he is not. There has not been a terrorist he has not made excuses for, he has no understanding of defense of America.

You are correct about Romney, he could have after France volunteer.

As far as Gingrich, he had medical issues, they would not have taken him.

My husband volunteered and had medical issues. They would not take him - period.

I have zero idea about Gingrich's marriage, if it was sincere or not and neither do you.
