flatdawg Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Mitt Romney: “I was too important to go to Vietnam” By Sarah Wood Excerpt: “That’s a good question, young man, and I would be happy to answer it. The Vietnam War came at a time in my life when I had other plans. I knew in my heart of hearts that I would one day serve my nation. That I would one day hold an office that would help not only our nation, but also the world. So I did what I could to make sure that I would be around to serve my nation, as well as serving God by teaching very important religious principles to a broader audience overseas. My father did not want me serving, and he convinced me that yes, I was too important to go to Vietnam. I had a greater purpose in life. I wasn’t neglecting my nation, but rather preparing myself for a future of service.” Entire article here. Through the years many men have gone from war to politics. Eisenhower, Kennedy, even Bush 41 to name just a few. Romney is a chicken-hawk. Nothing more, nothing less. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMGarand Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 And now we know, he had other plans. Did any of those draftees that went to Vietnam not have plans or were they required to be approved as" important" plans first. Can anyone ask the ones whose sacrificed their lives what plans they had? I guess their plans weren't classified as important enough by their daddy. I heard that line more than once from people when I entered military service. Never thought I would see anyone admit it nowdays.

flatdawg Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 You are so desperate on discrediting Romney that you did not read the Free Wood Post disclaimer Free Wood Post Disclaimer Satire or not, Romney took 4 deferments during the Vietnam War, yet supports a war against Iran. That makes him a chicken-hawk. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
