I am also pretty sure Romney never hated his country.
No kudos on his level of patriotism then, now, or ever.
His history is what it is.
No man in his line has ever served America in uniform, ever, the draft, patriotism, love of country, the desperate needs of the nation, nothing has ever won over one of the males in his direct line in the 170 years of their existence in America.
Mitt himself has five strapping sons, but the Romney men don't serve, but 2 generations in a row have run for Commander in Chief during wartime.
