I guess your military service was more valuable and righteous then any of those ‘drafted’ guys, huh?

The reason that I asked is that you may have noticed that usually everyone mentions that Jews were represented in WWII, but that was a draftee war and of course we had some draftees even during the Vietnam war, but a much smaller number.

In this volunteer military, Jews are only .3% or 4500 people.

So I’ll ask again:

“How do you advance conservatism, by criticizing conservative groups?”

The charts above by another poster prove that Mormons vote strongly for conservatives.

I will ask you again "We aren't supposed to know enlistment data here on a conservative, pro military, political site?"

This is laughable, you really want to block enlistment information and American military demographics information here?

Is the fact that Mormons are not big on actually serving in the military supposed to be too secret, or too insulting for us to know it?

Why only Mormons, can I still mention Jewish enlistment rates, how about blacks, or Muslims, what other everyday information do you want to block?

This is more than laughable, it is pathetic, if the Mormon lack of walking the walk bothers you, then get your buddies to enlist, you can start with the Romneys, that line of males has been dodging serving America since they arrived on these shores.

"I was not planning on signing up for the military. It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam..."
Boston Herald, 5/2/94

"I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam."
Boston Globe, 6/24/07

"My sons are all adults, and they've made decisions about their careers, and they've chosen not to serve in the military and active duty, and I respect their decision ... " "One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected, because they think I'd be a great president."

Post them if you’ve got them.

Nobody has said to block anything.

I do not respect any person who wants to lead this country and has not served,I neither respect them, nor their sons.
May you all rot for profaning this country, while trying to run it. You have no honor.

The Romney men have never served the United States in uniform, ever, since they arrived here many years before the Civil War.

This perfect, unbroken record of avoiding military service tells us something about the Romney’s view of America, remember that Mitt’s father was the anti war, republican candidate for president, during the Vietnam war, while his father was campaigning, Mitt was avoiding the draft in France.

Where is your fancy chart thingy proving what you are saying (facts)about Jewish people in the military? I am confused, are you against Jewish people or Mormon people or both?

Welcome n00b...

This is not correct...

Did you join FR just to post this ???

Wheres the break down on the issues ???

For istance abortion...

While Christians are pro-life, the mormons have pro-abortion doctrines...

The pro-abortion crowd are not conservatives...

Then theres same sex marriage and gay rights...

While Christians dont agree with homosexuality, mpormons support the abomination in their doctrines...

Homosexuality is not a conservative attributer..

Then there’s the military...

More deferments were given to mormons during the Vietnam War than any other group...

Draft dodgers are not conservatives..

And so on...

Plus this has been posted before ...

The survey was only scored on whether or not people called THEMSELVES conservatives...

Not whether they were or not...
