Mitt Romney and the draft.

[RetiredGySgt]

As I suspected, the supposed dodging of the draft never occurred.

Romney received a school deferment because, GASP, he was in college. He then received a deferment because he spent 30 months in France as a Missionary. Neither event being exceptional or dodging anything. Upon his return he went to College again but was in the draft for 69, his high number meant he did not get picked.

Lets contrast that with Clinton shall we?

Clinton got an ROTC Col. to write him a deferment letter with the promise he would join the ROTC program. He not only did not join after getting the letter he fled the Country to England to purposefully avoid the draft, which he admitted in the letter to the Col.

Remind us again which of the two actually took steps to AVOID the draft?

You mean that Bill Clinton won a Rhodes Scholarship just to avoid the draft?

Was more honorable than serving our country in a time of war??

You expect that your religious beliefs should be honored and respected while you shit on everyone else's, figures you hypocrite.

That's not "hypocritical".

The fact of having "religious beliefs" means that you think all the other religions have it WRONG.

Sure..lets.

Clinton was against the Vietnam war..protested against it..but eventually registered.

Romney was FOR the Vietnam war..protested in favor of it...then went to France.

It's very simple.

Clinton stated in his letter to the Col he used the Col to avoid the draft and was now reneging on his commitment. He openly admitted dodging the draft by LYING to the Col to avoid the draft. He then skipped the Country after avoiding the draft with his lie. Romney submitted to the draft also and was not selected. Pretty simple concept.

Clinton's Rhodes Scholarship is worth about as much as Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.

Bullshit on both points.

Romney never submitted to the draft.

[Avorysuds]

I like Ron Paul because when his country called he didn't hide behind his family, religion, money, work or lies...

That's the main issue with having a higher standard, most others look pathetic.

I agree that this is not an issue, and certainly isn't with the great majority of centrists and independents.

So who is the hypocrite?

I was called and put on an U.S Army uniform during Vietnam.

Romney fled to France and put on magic under wear.

 

[eraser2000]

anyone in their right mind dodged the draft. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident never happened and Kennedy was going to withdrawal the troops... til...

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Had I been alive during the draft, I would have gotten CO status, so I don't really give the slightest little shit about "draft dodging"

 

[Zoom-boing]

Does the Mormon religion require followers to perform missionary work?

 

[Big Black Dog]

Peace, love, dove.

 

[francoHFW]

ANOTHER chickenhawk spoiled rich twit W clone....unbelievable, Pubtools...and GASP! speaks French LOL

 

[JakeStarkey]

No, Kennedy was not going to withdraw the troops, and the first incident of the Gulf of Tonkin did happen.

Get it straight, please.

We had some drafted guys in basic training who were CO status.

They were still sent to Vietnam as medics.
