Actually it’s the only way to get into combat while your nation is at war. You can do all the other employment or “service” or what-have-you afterwards. For me frankly, it is an indicator of character.

I get that. I don't agree, but I get it. What I don't get is what the Romney boys have to do with anything whatsoever. Why comment on them rather than the sons of Joe Nobody from Kansas?

Because the Joe Nobody family wasn’t trying to paint themselves as patriots or ask to be put into a position where they could send better men than themselves into combat.
