The only alteration I would make would be the following:

I also understand that he is a decorated Veteran of the Vietnam war, and that Mitt Romney...despite his remarks that he "longed" to go there as well...actively sought FOUR deferments from Military service and hung out in France, sharing the "good news" of his church, while every day John Kerry got out of bed and wondered if today would be the day that some Viet Cong soldier would blow his ass off , maybe, the day he would be called upon to kill.


Most soldiers, that have been to war, do not relish the thought of having to kill another human being. But those that "had other priorities" or "higher callings" or were diligently protecting the air-space over Texas from the communist hoards (when they were not on campaign trips) ... well, they lament missing the opportunity.
