The GOP candidate in 2012, Willard Romney, used several deferments to avoid having to serve in the Vietnam War.
The very same war that the GOP was sooo upset that Clinton didn't serve in.
Worse, Romney was such chicken that he ducked out of an appearance on "The View", fearing his reception by women who are not GOP drones. So he sent Wife Of, also known as Queen Ann, who stated that to Mormons, serving as Mormon missionaries is the equivalent of serving in the armed forces.
[W]e find different ways of serving, and my five boys and my husband did serve missions, and did not serve in the military.That's good to know that according to the Romney World View, door-to-door proselytizing in France was the same as spending a year humping a rucksack and carrying a M-16 in the Mekong Delta.*

I so echo your feelings there. My Sister in laws kid is a Marine Airframe mechanic in the Stan. She is cross trained as MP. When they hit the wire at that Marine base my "little Shelly" was in harms way with RPGs and AK's. A Female or not, shoot to live! You can't in anyway compare that with a rented Studio in Paris.
It really pisses me off that he can even try to compare his Chicken Shit Ministry duty to any one who ever humped a ruck and traded fire with the enemy.
They ought to make "Combat Vet" a requirement for the presidency in my opinion.
I lost actual Brothers to the Nam and I really don't appreciate R/Money making that sound like a day in a park in France.

There is a correlated to "It's alright if you're a Republican": It's patriotic if you're a Republican. I was most upset by these bozos in 2004 with how they were willing to treat a bona fide war hero:
War Heroes
I don't think anything they do could truly surprise me.
"...according to the Romney World View, door-to-door proselytizing in France was the same as spending a year humping a rucksack and carrying a M-16 in the Mekong Delta."
Forget the effing rucksack and carrying an m-16. How about getting shot at? How about having grenades thrown at you? How about getting caught in live fire ambushes? How about stepping on a punji stick planted just for you?
With her statement about Mitt's "service" (to whom? Is the Mormon Church now the United States") Mrs. Romney has grossly insulted every American veteran of every war who risked or lost his life, or limbs, or future, so that Mr. and Mrs. Romney can champion the entitlements of rich "let the poor do it" wannabe nobility like themselves.
Mrs. Romney, go step on a punji stick.
Very crankily yours,
The New York Crank
