Mormon Church Obtained Vietnam Deferrals For Romney

As the Vietnam War raged in the 1960s, Mitt Romney received a deferment from the draft as a Mormon "minister of religion" for the duration of his missionary work in France, which lasted two and a half years.

Before and after his missionary deferment, Romney also received nearly three years of deferments for his academic studies. When his deferments ended and he became eligible for military service in 1970, he drew a high number in the annual lottery that determined which young men were drafted. His high number ensured he was not drafted into the military.

1. I bet that was the LAST of his missionary work once he

got a high draft number. :grr:

7. I am well aware that most all republicons "thin' they are special

and thus think they can lie, cheat and steal from the citizens of the United States

In my view, the only thing special about that is the complete lack of honor

8. "Why are there so many "special" republicon chickenhawks?"

Money.

9. And his several draft age children would receive the same special treatment in the event of a draft

That is a fact.

But, watch they are so upset they aren't in the service. One states I "feel guilty having not done it", another has "seen a lot and read a lot" and finally the classic canard "there are other sacrifices"...
