>>He SOUGHT and OBTAINED a deferment from the LDS church to go on a mission to France

Are you of the opinion that a government granted deferment is the same thing as burning your card and smoking weed in England? There are many FReepers who have gotten deferrments. I would prefer that Romney have served, but to try to equate a deferment (which many prominent Pubbies have gotten) with draft dodging is wrong.

Romney has said his two main regrets are not serving and not having more kids.

As someone who has been in the military I would support Romney as CIC.
