| 78. 99% of the time I agree: leave families out of it. But the Romneys are part of a bigger problem. |
|
The problem is that we have a class of Americans who benefit from war who will not serve, who will not encourage their children to serve, who cynically profiteer thru war time contracts but have the deepest, if unspoken, disdain for the families who do send their kids off to serve the country. Tehre are some who serve their country and others who help themselves to a second serving off the blood and sweat of those who serve.
It's just wrong and Romney's kids are a prime example of this.

So Mitt had to serve the Mormon church on a mission, and not his country? |
