14. He REALLY wanted to go but

the gov't forced 4 deferments on him.

"I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam."

- Mitt Romney, Boston Globe, 6/24/07

"I was not planning on signing up for the military. It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam."

- Mitt Romney, Boston Herald, 5/2/94

30. What would you expect from a man who, when asked by his country for his service, said ...

“No, send somebody else!”

And then took off for the mansions of Paris and the hillsides of France?

26. I hope they didn't want him to sign up

The Army got rid of its drummer boys long, long ago, and that's about all an 8-year-old could have done.

How did Obama avoid the draft during the Persian Gulf War??? Inquiring minds want to know!

Just in case it's not obvious ...

18. Granads's what?



To me Granada is a region in Spain and a TV station in the northwest of England.

Though IMO should throw Romney to Granada - shove him in Hell's Kitchen or give him a Kitchen Nightmare or two.

I was the last one to click cuz I thought it was some kind of slam.

BTW, cute kid picture. Reminds me of my brother Bob just a little. I'm wishing for some diversity genes on the family tree. I'd be proud.

33. I'm surprised the right hasn't tried to use that against him anyway.

He was barely a teenager when Nixon left office and in single digits when the draft stopped.

37. What is interesting...

Is that this year it won't even be discussed.

Though there might be some strange quixotic angle played where the right pretends that Romney was somehow wise for having known that Vietnam was bad for him and that President Obama was too young to recall how bad it was.

Other than that they have nothing to gain.
