LOL, romneybot insults you while you post for Romney?
Which Romneybot insulted me? You insulted me by calling me a “Romneybot” which I am not. I was curiously reading the thread when you made your post and foolhardily stated: “no Romney man has ever served the United States as a military man”.
He smashed you with a great reply. Deal with it. Plus, what’s with this “we” stuff. We’re all FReepers and we all want what’s best for the country. Each of us has a right to conscience and that should be respected. Name calling just diminishes you.
Now I hadn’t known about Romey’s lack of military service. So I did a quick search after reading your post on it. Here’s what I found: http://www.biography.com/people/mitt-romney-241055
It states that Mitt Romney was married in 1969. I don’t know all the ins and outs of the draft, but IIRC married men weren’t drafted. So I looked up his Dad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Romney He would have been 34 when WW2 started. It says he was chief spokesman for the Amer. Automobile Mfg. Assoc. during this time. A lot of people didn’t go to war and IIRC the average age of a US soldier during WW2 was 26. It sounds like he did something for the war effort, although he sounds like a crummy governor. It also says that he was “born in Mexico to American parents”.
If that’s true then Mitt Romney’s male line didn’t have many chances to fight in an American war. Your implication is that either they’re “cowards” or “draft dodgers” or something. I don’t have enough information to conclude you’re right, but I do know many people who love America and have never served in the military. So what are you getting at?
