So I don’t misrepresent what you have said, be so kind as to clarity which Charles Robinson you are speaking about.
Was it the CR (Charles Robinson) who served in the Colored Military Troops 6th Infantry, New York, 1861-64.
Or the CR who served in the Regular Army, 1862-64 and deserted in 1864.
Or the CR who served in the 14th Infantry, Tennessee, 1861-66.
Or the CR who served in the Regular Army, Tennessee as a private, 1863.
Or the CR who served in the Regular Army, Missouri, in 1865.
Or the CR who served in the 17th Infantry, Michigan,New York 1863
Or the CR who served in the 14th Heavy Artillery Division, New York, 1866-1868.
Did I serve in the military as an active member - no.
When I was of the age to join and it was not easy for women to enlist when there was not an active war going on.
I attempted to enlist after high school, rejected.
After I received my college degree I attempted to enlist again and was again rejected.
Most women who were accepted had a specific skill set that was need, being an industrial psych/poli sci major wasn’t what they needed.
I am sure today it would be different.
There is not a single man in my family as far back as can be traced that has not served in the military for this country (three of the four lines of my family can be traced to 1625-1650 (The New World), one line came here in the 1910 and began serving then.
I have had women in my family who during active wars where able to served for the duration in some capacity.
Romney is not about his service or non service is is about his liberalism and I will not vote for a liberal where he has an R or a D by their name.
