As both a veteran of Gulf War 1 and Bosnia, the son of a WWII vet who endured Kamikaze attacks and a ship sinking and the father of a Marine currently on his second deployment to Afghanistan, I find those comments of yours insulting and demeaning. What ever attributes or lack of that Romney has, his military service is not part of the equation.

FWIW, I took two deferments in college. So, I guess that makes anyone who took a deferment a draft dodger too?

The point of this article is that Romney is taking heat for not serving his country all the while giving Obama a pass on his lack of service.

I guess I can see why Obama never served though...you have to have a valid birth certificate.

Dear Tennessee Mau mau,

How many generations back did you chase Obama's military service?

I know African records are sketchy but being a true patriot, I'm sure you must have made some effort.

I would start with the Mau Mau...

"The Mau Mau were a militant African nationalist movement active in Kenya during the 1950s whose main aim was to remove [white] British rule and European settlers from the country."*

* Their main weapons were machetes, axes and knives.They killed thousands.
