I note that the Mittster had better things to do while I and many others were taking the brunt of the fight.and his many sons have never worn a uniform.
Must have a different definition of patriotism than the rest of us.
Don’t you remember? Willard said that his sons serve their country by working on his campaigns.
I've served with several Mormons in the Navy, both officers and enlisted.
I am sure Romney thinks he served his country gallivanting around Europe (mostly France) for two years, while you were in Nam.
I mean he has said that his sons have served this country by campaigning for him.
The Romney family has a skewed view of service to country.
Thank you for your service.
That's odd...I didn't see you either..I guess we never crossed paths,in 1966-67,1969-70,and 1973-4.You could have found a bunch of us at Sacrament meetings aboard most any Naval vessel and at DaNang...at least I could find them.
During the Vietnam war the Mormon church was requesting excessive deferments for their young men. They met with the government and finally agreed to limit the deferments each ward could request for young men to go on missions. It was understood that after finishing their mission the young men would be eligible to serve. Romney got his first deferment to attend college, when he quit school he requested a 2nd to go on a mission. When he returned he request a 3rd to again attend college. He insults the military when he claims his sons serve their country by campaigning for him.
Don't know why the conversation came up...it was many, many years ago.
