Is this a joke? You are a freeper and while defending the anti-military Romneys, you also want freepers to explain why patriotic Americans enlist in the military?
I don’t know why the Romneys are so dead set against serving their country, but they have worked hard enough at it that since coming here to personally serve the cult leader Joseph Smith in 1842, after joining the cult in England, no Romney in Mitt’s direct line has served our nation in uniform.
The Romneys not only have never served, but they actually left the United States, since they came back because of the physical danger in their new country, they have still refused military service, but have run two generations straight for the prestigious and powerful presidential job.
What was gained? Nothing
What was lost ? 57K good men
Why did I oppose it? Does anyone need to ask?
Stop trying to phrase it in terms of soldiers’ honor;it was as issue of politicians’ lies. It was Gallipoli on a multi-year, grand scale.
