Mormons don’t serve in the military. Refuse to serve in the military. Let someone else do it.

Sorry, but that’s not true. My son is in ROTC and there are Mormons in his detachment.

“Mormons don’t serve in the military. Refuse to serve in the military.”


Wow. What exactly have you been smoking today?

My father was a paratrooper in the 11th Airborne DIvision. My brother was in the Navy. Many many of my extended family served. I’ve had uncles die serving this country.

Take your incoherent ignorant bigotry elsewhere.

Utterly untrue.

No Romney has ever served.

I served with a number of Mormons who would beg to differ.

You are so wrong. Mormons do serve in the military but after they serve missions.

I served 28 years in the military and knew many Mormons who served honorably. I'm no fan of Romney either, but how about not broad-brushing the whole group?

Not true.

Many don’t, but there are those who do...I think their percentages are much less than the average demographic, but they do.

I was a mormon [now an ex-mo] and was in the military, knew and know a few as well.

****

Well, we’re in the military and we’ve seen mormons serving — just not very RICH ones - not those with fortunes like Romney’s, or multiple vactions homes like Romney. Stuff like that.

Although I don’t begrudge them for it. Someone has to work and pay the taxes to support an Army.

...some do, but I am familiar with the demographic trend that you refer to.
