Thank you for the courtesy however, I did not misunderstand the author's point/biased opinion. What RP pointed out is no different than the govt hiring desk jockey to write laws for those of us in the long haul transportation industry. Just because someone walks around a base and hangs around military personnel & equipment, doesn't make them fit for command based on those personal encounters.

It reminds me of the laws/regulations we are fighting now. Just because some desk jockey rode in a semi from DC to Cleveland,Oh and then got on a plane back to DC, that desk jockey thinks they have the where with all to write laws as to when & how we operate.

The simple fact that Gingrich gets all defensive and never actually tells us exactly HOW & WHY he never served should be a BIG RED FLAG to all voters.

He did tell us how and why. He wasn’t drafted. He was over the age that people were being drafted when the draft was run and he was married with kids. Paul lied that he applied for deferments. He didn’t need to, he was already exempt.

You mean LBJ's military experience didn't qualify him to task bombing missions from the White House?

He tried to say he wasn’t eligible for the draft, but Paul talked over him so he couldn’t be heard very well.
