Go to a GOP event and try to find a younger male who was man enough to serve in uniform. I can’t speak for Texas, but I can tell you that my experiences in Virginia, New Hampshire and Massachusetts have indicated to me most YR’s don’t have spine enough to serve in any capacity. It’s just anecdotal and I may be wrong, but I don’t think so.

Our USMC son from Ohio would disagree, and so would his friends.

I was a ‘young man’ at 19 years old when I went in... and I was looking forward to helping protect the freedoms of the USA.. (and I am from Texas).

I don’t know what your ‘guys are pussies, so the women have to make up for it’ attitude is all about..

BTW, I am 42 now, not that it matters.

Thank you for your post. Apologies for the tardy reply: I never noticed your reply previously.

Your observation is sound, though there are many who have served: Including my son.

But, you are correct: Too many have not served. Including Romney and his five — FIVE! — military-aged (during the past decade), Harvard-graduate, trust-fund-heir sons.

I will vote for Romney, but will not be happy with him for this.
