This is rediculess one is serving at the arm of flesh and the other is servign st the arm of the Lord both are important in this temporal world.

Also there are many who ran for Commander in Chief who never served.

Here are a couple of things to think about. How many of Romney's sons have served? Did his father or grandfather serve?

You are only making this an issue because you have very few places to go to fault find.

It is all this fault finding that has gotten this nation into the fix we are in and good people do not want to run for office.

It is the minds like this that have given fodder to the to Marxist to undermind this nation especially the conservative movement.

Many ways there are many who try to make themselves feel good, going around and fault find thinking trying to tear down another will some how magnify their own self worth on this planet.

Romney: My Sons Serve America by Getting Me Elected

Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney reached new heights - or lows - of banality in Iowa on Wednesday. Romney defended his five sons' choices not to enlist in the military, claiming instead they serve their nation by "helping me get elected."

Mitt Romney, as you'll recall, avoided combat duty in the rice fields of Vietnam by getting multiple deferments to perform his Mormon mission in the vineyards of France. And while candidate Romney has called for a war against virtually all Muslim groups worldwide and pledged to "double Guantanamo," he has deployed his sons to the cornfields of Iowa to aid his campaign. The perfect hair and gleaming teeth of the Romney clan are found on the Five Brothers blog, not with a band of brothers outside of Baquba.

So on Wednesday, Rachel Griffiths of Milan, Illinois asked Romney about the non-service of his privileged sons, one of whom is completing a 99 county tour of Iowa in a campaign RV. Romney's answer was, well, Romneyesque;

"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 in that regard. 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. I respect that and respect all those and the way they serve this great country."
