He's proud all right. Too proud to serve or have anyone in his family serve, or admit that going to bed with a mint on your pillow at the Marriott isn't exactly the same as being shot at in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Romney very publicly equated having his five sons riding around in motor homes, staying in swanky hotels, campaigning for him, with what our men in uniform are doing:
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons' decision not to enlist in the military, saying they're showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."
He added: "One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."
Romney noted that his middle son, 36-year-old Josh, was completing a recreational vehicle tour of all 99 Iowa counties on Wednesday and said, "I respect that and respect all those and the way they serve this great country."

I've never liked Romney, but I nver knew about this.
