Mitt Romney: I was too important to go to Vietnam
...The next question asked went as follows, Governor Romney, it is true, is it not that you had four deferments from the Vietnam War
You have said before that you support war and the efforts of US military involvement overseas at all costs, yet you made sure you would never go to war yourself. What makes you think that veterans and those currently serving in the military think that you have their best interests at heart when you yourself werent even interested in sacrificing your time, energy, or life for your nation at a time when it seemed most crucial?
Romney responded:
Thats 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 wasnt neglecting my nation, but rather preparing myself for a future of service. ..
