I’m not making it up. Romney’s dad must have been registered for the draft. But he was older and had a houseful of kids, so he didn’t get called up. He was also in an important industry. From Wikipedia: “During World War II, Romney headed the Automotive Council for War Production, which worked to optimize automotive companies’ war production.”

There are other ways to “serve,” other than in uniform, although I admire all who did serve in uniform.

My dad, BTW, won the Distinguished Flying Cross in WWII, but he went back to civilian life and never put down any man who hadn’t served in the military.

Stop making excuses for the Romney’s TOTAL lack of military service to America. NO Romney EVER served in the military and NO Romney EVER fought for America. Period! Btw, this was a personal choice made by every member of the Romney clan. You don’t find that strange? Maybe even unpatriotic?

For what its worth, at least Obama’s Grandfather served in WWII. That is more than Willard can claim.
