19. It's well documented that the LDS obtained deferrals for Romney.
Edited on Sun Nov-13-11 11:20 AM by Gormy Cuss
Here's one report on it:
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/specials/romne... /

and here's another:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mitt-romney-biography-re...

He used his missionary work then college to get out of service. After that he was a married father, another way to get put pretty far down the list for the draft.
