IIRC, no one in Romney’s family has served.
Even Ted Kennedy, Yon Kerry, Algore knew, if not felt, a bit of affection. They had some notion of duty, if not desire to man the ramparts.
Not a single Romney, as you know. Not one, since before the Civil War. Not one of Mitt’s well educated, stapping son’s, post 9/11. Nothing. Nada. Zip. No thanks, we’re busy. It would be a pay cut, a sacrifice.
I won’t say that’s ‘all right’. It is, of course, a right. No one forces anyone. It’s a matter of free will, and values. In this case Mitt Romney family values. No doubt Mitt, who honestly wanted to serve in Viet Nam, but sadly had pressing LDS business in France, told many times his sons about his regrets. ( Who doesn’t get older with out them? ).
But, It’s nice Mitt has informed us unwashed, non-Harvard types that the Islamist who are now seriously thinking about how they really love us, might well become a wee bit angry.
Thanks Mitt. You’re a big help.
