Mindy Chatsworth, I couldn't agree with you more, you have stated the facts correctly.

too bad, if elected another president who will use the military for greed.

Typical war-mongering loser. HIS sons are 'too good' to fight, kill and die.

That task is left to the 'proles'.

People really, let's not be childish. Can we please have an election that is not full of ridiculous concerns that make no sense. Mitt Romney is dedicated to this country as well as his 5 sons. They serve and love the American People. We do not have to prove our dedication by serving in the military, if so we would all have to sign up. We prove it by our strength of character and humanity. Mitt is more qualified for the job of President then any other candidate. What did you expect Mitt to say to such a unfair and invalid question. Let's be a little bit more intelligent with our questions next time Iowa.

To Bill Indy –

You talk to my father before you lecture me about what the troops think or feel in Iraq. He can tell you all about war. He saw the worst of it in the concentration camps in Germany. He served his country and helped defeat a dictator who was trying to exterminate a whole race of people. So he can speak as a man who served his country and he thinks this war is an obscenity. He talks constantly about how our soldiers are suffering.

Since you like to support wars, what about fighting the REAL war in Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda and the Taliban are stronger than ever. Now that would be a war that might accomplish something.

As far as Hillary's original stance in support of the war, we all were deliberately told lies in order to gain our support. Now we know that there were no weapons of mass destruction, there was no connection between Saddam and Iraq and the terrorists who flew those planes on 9/11. It was all a bunch of dirty, rotten lies. We attacked the wrong country and it has made Al Qaeda stronger. At least Hillary has the brains and common sense to now actively seek an end to this war and bring our courageous and beleagured soldiers home. What about Mitt Romney?

And let's check the rest of the candidates and their kids out and we'll find more of the same. I'm all for a volunteer army. it's our choice to make.

So let me get this straight. your the president of the united states, the commander in chief, youre only allowed to send troops into a war zone if either (1) you have served, or (2) youre sons or daughters have served? this is ridiculous! we have a voluntary army! no where does it say that if you want to be president you must serve. people serve their country in other ways. like someone said earlier, wed be left with paul, gravel, dodd, and mccain if it were up to some of you. aye aye aye

This is a question for "Mindy Chatsworth". Didn't Hillary originally vote for this war? It doesn't make a difference if a person's children are or are not in the military, and they want to support this war. I was not in the military but I support this war and our troops. Go ask any military personnel that is surving right now if they care whether or not a "troop supporter" has military experience. They don't care!!!! All they want is not to get spit on and called 'baby killers' when they step back on our land. They just want us to say 'good job' and 'thank you'. Remember, it is called a volunteer military.

So these kids are too bust spending their trust funds to be bothered.
Lets not stray from the basic idea.
We need to bringing everybody elses kids home.

Perhaps if we brought back the draft with the exception that there were NO deferrments other thatn medical deferrments, it would make politicians think twice prior to leading us into wars of choice. Romney is a hypocrite but no more so than many of our Republican neighbors who are still cheerleaders for this war. Give him a little time, he'll shift his position and come up with an excuse why he took it in the first place. The man has no more integrity than a junkyard dog!!

It doesnt matter whether any of the canidates have children or they themself have served in the war. The war is wrong, it is being fought for a reason none of us truly know. Those people over there have fought each other since the beginning of time. Read your Bible, and they will continue to fight and if we dont mind our own business, they will continue to attack and kill us. Do we want some other country coming to America telling us how we are to live, what we should do with our resources? So why are we trying to impose our beliefs on other countries. Bring our soldiers home, they deserve to live, their children deserve to be raised with a family, mothers and fathers should not be burying their children!

what CNN is leaving out, is that he stated his sons are serving their country by working on his campaign for presidncy.
this last comment from him really shows he's a class act

Tommy, are you kidding me? If CNN was reporting news, they would post the text of the entire contents of the campaign stop so we could get a big picture look at Mr. Romney. Instead, as is the unfortunate case with all news outlets today, they picked up the most controversial, incriminating, sound bite out of the entire event. That is not news. I am tired of being manipulated by news media. If you are going to post something like this, at least put in a link to the text as a whole.

Here is the whole quote

"The good news is that we have a volunteer Army and that's the way we're going to keep it. 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.
I also respect and value very very highly those who make the decision to serve in the military. And I think we ought to show an outpouring of support just as I suggested, a surge of support for those families and for those individuals who are serving. My niece, for instance, just to tell you what a neighborhood can do and how touching it can be, my niece Misha –living out west– her husband, I think he got a call on a Tuesday, he's in the National Guard, he got a call on a Tuesday that he was going to be called up and shipped overseas on a Thursday, and they'd just bought a home, they hadn't landscaped it, but the rules in the neighborhood were that unless you got your home landscaped within a year of the time that you bought your home, they began fining you because they didn't want people having mudholes in front of their homes. And she was very worried, and just before the year expired, she woke up one morning and looked out the window and all the neighbors were out there rolling out sod, putting up trees, getting it all done. It is remarkable how we can show our support for our nation.

One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected because they think'd I be a great president (laughter) and my son Josh bought the family Winnibago and has visited 99 counties most of them with his three kids and his wife, and I respect that and all of those and the way they serve this great country.

"Did he forget 9/11?" asked the demogogue yacht salesman, interrupting the righteous Ron Paul. NO, Mitt, the Iraq War has nothing to do with 9/11.

That insincere smile of a warmonger will disappear soon. Romney's campaign will self-destruct and he will lose all that money he borrowed from himself.

I spent 13 years in the armed forces. The reason I'm not still in is because my wife is still on Active Duty and one of us had to remain behind to raise our daughter (my wife is currently deployed to Iraq). Having said that, I don't have an issue with Mitt's family not serving in uniform (it is a volunteer force after all). I do have an issue with him making the boneheaded statement "One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected." By making the comparison that his sons choosing to help with a political campaign carries a similar amount of weight to our soldiers fighting it out over there is just plain stupid. Supporting the troops means more than just sticking a yellow magnet on your bumper.

As one whose biggest concession to the right wing is to vote for Democrats, I'd like to point out that this isn't really that big a deal. While conservatives foam at the mouth, Democratic supporters ought to realize that '08 is theirs to lose. Matching the GOP hand-wringing over non-issues is one of the things that will erode swing and crossover support. We might as well ask Mitt what kind of underwear he wears. It's simply not important. It would be better to sharpen both eyes and knives when receiving the Petraeus report next month. Then, instead of calling Mitt out about his sons, we can call him out about how best to show our support for the troops–e.g., bringing them home.

To CorruptCore and Travis:
The reason Romney is singled out is due to his stance on the war. It seems to be a growing trend among many of the Republican frontrunners to talk tough after having avoided the draft. I call it the John Wayne syndrome because hyprocrit John made a career out of playing war heroes while avoiding the draft. Sadly, many stupid filmgoers patronized his movies, and sadly many voters support these jerks.

They had a draft during Vietnam and that war didn't end quickly because of it. But hey if you want to send more liberals off to die in a military that has a clear conservative majority, be my guest.

Was invading Iraq a mistake? Quite possibly seeing as how we hadn't finished in Afganistan. But do we want to commit the same mistake we made when we pulled out of Vietnam and left millions to die.

Wars are won through fighting them, not invading and then letting the government run the war. Last time I checked the military was in charge of fighting wars and the commander in chief was George Bush.

Bill Clinton showed us what doing nothing accomplishes. We were attacked more times under his watch then we have under George Bush. Now please explain how that makes sense seeing as how he was explicity against the use of force in most cases.

Terrorists speak one language, the language of force. If you give them what they want when they have hostages do they leave you along? Nope they take more hostages knowing full well that you will give into their demands.

The day that Obama or Hilary Clinton are elected president will be the day I consider not honoring my military commitment. I re-enlisted knowing full well what I was getting into but knowing that I was doing something to keep this country safe. At the end of the day I know that I am doing my part to protect the land I love. Can you say the same?

This is a non-story. We have a voluteer armed forces. His sons being in the military makes a contender a better President? I know it used to be a taste test for the contender to be a veteren, but their kids? Come on…

Why must a family member be in the military for someone to be able to make intelligent decisions about our military? By the same reasoning, no government official would able to make decisions about law enforcement unless the official had a family member who was an officer or agent.

If people would refuse to join the
military maybe the politicians wouldn't
be so eager to rush into war. The government has already proven that they
don't care about our foot soldiers. How
many more young people do we have to sacrifice. After the dust settles we will be trading partners with them just
like Viet Nam. Bring our soldiers home
and protect our own borders.

While not being a fan of Bush or Romney. What his kid do or don't do is not a fair question. Question Romney's lack of military service all day long, just like they did to Clinton.

The hypocritcal part his how the Republicans were critical of Bill's lack of service but didn't seem to have a problem with Bush or Cheney's draft dodging.

Joe Kennedy had a son in the war and look what happened to him. One became President and one died. So did that make the Kennedy's good or just medium?

Does not matter. Romney kids are not running for President.

What a shame.

Our best hope for resolving the conflict between Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish factions would be to send over five Mormon boys in a Winnebago.

Mitt +5 haven't served because there hasn't been a defense contractor who has yet figured out how to weave kevlar body armor into magic underwear.

Seriously, is this really the problem with Mitt's campaign or is it the fact that his moral foundation is based on the teachings of some yahoo from the 1800's that believed he could read golden plates he claimed to find in the woods?

Keep in mind that military service is voluntary. His sons are adults; they can make their own decisions. He isn't forcing anyone into the war either; even if someone wants to increase troops in Iraq, it would be done so through voluntary enlistment, there's no draft and there won't be. Don't criticize him for his sons' behaviors, that's like criticizing Obama or Edwards because one of their children failed a spelling test.

HAHAHA the funny comparison of Romney to Clinton…5 sons, and a devout supporter of WAR WAR WAR, with no children in the military, vs. Clinton, with one daughter, is hilarious.

This is how these people reason, which is why we're in the situation we're in. Did you warmongers, keyboard soldiers see the article about China threatening to sell off their dollar reserves in order to retaliate for the US hardline on imports? China financed support for Iraq…Thanks bush!

It's Mitt Romney's stand on continuing the War in Iraq that I find disturbing. I know he's a flip flopper (I'm from Massachusetts) but when he realizes his stand won't get him elected he'll flip flop on this issue as well. He's flip flopped on so many issues and misrepresented himself to the voters of Massachusetts — he's not above doing the same to the voters of the United States of America.

As a veteran myself I have a few questions for the dems. Like to Hilary, why did her husband turn tail when I was in somiala about getting Bin Laden when he was right there and we knew he attacked the USS Cole. How did she feel about his political agenda then? And how many democratic canidates ever been in and can say they served. Personally I'm more concerned about what they are gonna do about illegal immigration and global warming then about who's kids are in the service! Let's talk about the real issues. Iraq is a mess but lets face it none of them are bringing our troops home as soon as they get in office and if they say they are they are lieing. Wake up America!!

When consumers stop buying x product from y company, y company will cave in.

When women and men stop joining military services, Iraq war will stop.

If there are no Indians, there won't be any chief.

Romney never is one to handle a tough question well. I figured he'd say something like, "This moment is an epiphany for me and I will now force my sons to enlist". Or something…

http://political-buzz.com/

In my opinion, Romney is the worst of the lot. He's only in this race because he's good-looking, was born into wealth, and is not terribly stupid.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the nomination.

-j

This should be no surprise. In general, wealthy people's children do not serve in the military these days and Romney is very wealthy. They don't need the sign-up bonuses, or educational assistance or any of the other "benefits" the military offers. Their children are too valuable to them to be in the line of fire; they have "other things to do." They can back the war without much personal cost. And Bush and Cheney have NO idea what combat is like. My father-in-law (a WW2 vet) quotes the poem "Two Sides of War" by Grantland Rice. Check it out.

I'm very, very disturbed that the litmus test for whether a candidate's views are legitimate has become whether that candidate has impressed his offspring into military service. Give me a freaking break. Are we quizzing all the environmentally-conscious candidates on whether their children are scrupulously Earth-friendly? Oh, no. Guess we're not. Cause the only candidates who will be judged by what their children do, apparently, are the Republicans.

These brave lads have been advertising executives, sports marketers, and real estate salesman. They also are driving an RV across Iowa. How much more sacrifice could anyone ask of the "Intrepid Five?"

If there was an open draft with no deferrals it would be much harder for an administration to start a war. No war should be fought unless every person in the country is willing to make a sacrifice.

I find it interesting that so many Right Wingers seem to always equate media reporting of facts that don't paint their heros or their heros' supporters in a favorable light as an attack on them. Romney's kids didn't serve. Thats a fact. CNN reported that fact. Get over it.

I was considering joining the USMC, but I'll just finish this year and graduate instead.

My father is a huge Bush supporter but promised to brain me if I ever even considered serving "now". This, I can't understand.

Idiots!! No wonder the best and brightest of their generation don't run for public office!! Now, you need to have military experience, or a family member who served, in order to run for President!! It's funny how all those with anti-war sentiments want military experience for a candidate. I guess you'll need to have a teenage daughter to be able to talk about abortion, a family member with a middle class income to talk about taxation, an illegal alien as a relative to speak about immigration, etc., etc., etc.!! How foolish is this voting public of ours??

Did Clinton (either) serve? NO – and she voted for the War

Did Edwards serve? NO – and he voted for the war

Did Biden serve? NO – and he voted for the war

Are these candidates to be labeled "gutless chickhawks" being thrown at the GOP and Romney since they all voted FOR the war yet have not served in the military?

The irony is – the military (as a whole) is more conservative and traditionally support Republicans. Hmmm – wonder why that is?

Perhaps because Republicans are more staunch supporters of the Military, funding for military resources, and are less likely to be found burning American flags or protesting a War/Troops.

And for those who want to point fingers that it is Republicans that warmonger – please be reminded it was DEMOCRATIC presidents: Woodrow Wilson (WW1), FDR (WW2), Truman (Korea) JFK (entered Vietnam), and LBJ (escalated Vietnam).

Tommy -

Don't be silly. A liberal media outlet like CNN can report the news. They just choose to 'report' newsthat support their political affiliations. Of course, you being in Atlanta must admire your 'unbiased' hometown internet rag and think they are balanced.

Personally I think he flip flops way to much on not only important issues but very political issues. This is just another walk around the block with another politician who is shady! I don't trust anything coming out of his mouth!

Well, there’s always Mit Romney, I mean, at least he never changes his stance and loves animals.

Unless you count the cocker spaniel he strapped to the top of his station wagon for a cross country trip on the interstate I mean.

But of course, Romney is pro choice, I mean pro life, I mean pro choice, I mean pro life.

Well, like I said, at least he’s pro animal.

Romney's children have the same right as any other man's (or woman's)to either enlist or not; we should have a draft if we are going to have a war, but that is another issue.
But consider: Romney went on to say "They are serving by helping get me elected."
The sheer arrogance of this is stunning. Romney considers "assisting me get elected" as equal to the serving in the military in wartime!

He

Is it me or did you miss the most important part of Romney's response? What happened to the part about "they are helping getting me elected"? It puts the whole response in a different light. (And not very positive for Romeny)

another politician who is willing to send you to war but not his own sons and daugthers. Micheal Moore was right, our elected represenatives live in another world. they don't have our well being in mind just their own.

Why can't you do just a little research? The woman, Rachel Griffiths, who questioned Romney was not a "reputed war protester." Her brother recently served in Iraq, which is the main reason she asked the question. And you folks wonder why we go elsewhere for news?

Most Americans have chosen not to enlist in the military. It doesn't mean they wouldn't serve if there came a draft or if called upon. The conclusions by some folks here would disqualify the very large majority of us from public service.

Everyone should volunteer for their country, not just democrats or independents, but republican's should join as well, including the politician's who have kids that are adults and well off. Just because they have money and feel they don't need to have a job in the military doesn't mean they still can't serve their country in this manner.

Heck it's a volunteer corps, show your pride for America and join.

I don't see why Mitt Romney is so scrutinized with his war relations. People complain that he "dodged" the Vietnam Conflict by serving a mission for his church. So, serving God is now considered being a coward and a traitor?

Mit Romney's stance on his son's serving in the Military is one that is easily understandable from the view of any parent; even the one's who have lost thier lives in this latest war.

I dont feel that he is being singled out, for any person wishing to be the Commander in Chief should be required to step up to the plate and defend both his/her's military career and that of his family. However asking for a stance on this issue by GOP Candidates is moot,because after the debacle of eight years of Bush, Abe Linclon,and Ronald Reagan coming back to life and running on the GOP Ticket won't save 2008 for the GOP.

In one of Michael Moore's movies he asked a number of congressman if they had children in the armed forces only to find that none did.This is a war where the only people making any kind of sacrafice at all are the few that have sons or daughters in the service(my son is in the navy).If more people were involved(bring back the draft?) this war would end a lot sooner.

All ignorant commentators listen:it is not CNN that questioned Romney's military service or his son's but was asked at a "campaign stop in Bettendorf,Iowa..whether any of his sons were enlisted in the military and what they were doing to "support the war on terror".Is it wrong for CNN to report the news?

Why hasn't Romney's kids served? Because Neo-con chickenhawks send OTHERS children to die in a WAR OF CHOICE.

Why is it "anti-war" to ask a political candidate why his family members have not chosen to serve in the war on terror that is the centerpiece of his campaign for president?

Put differently, why don't supporters of the war encourage military service?

What is sad is that we don't appreciate Iraq for what it could be and the GOP will not change. They stand hawkish on sending military people to die without a plan but they will not send their own kids because they know the risks. Here is a plan: Divide Iraq into three independent states. Let them deal with local security as they have for centuries. Leave the Middle East and work on developing alternate energy. This will stop the insurgency, secure Iraq, ideologically destroy Al Quiada, and will provide a path to the future. A chance to turn the other cheek one might say. Maybe they would help us arrest Usama Bin Ladin then. I don’t suggest we don’t continue to locate and arrest Al Quiada but I do suggest that we quit providing them the fuel and money to keep their fire burning. Fighting occupation is a cornerstone to the religion and we are stupid to occupy the land if democracy is truly our intent.

I think you all might be missing the fact that Clinton, Obama, and Edwards do not wish to escalate the war in Iraq (unlike Romney).

So you can't have an opinion on the war without a family member serving in the war. I guess any doctor that has never had a baby can not help pregnant women. If you have never had a family member in jail you can't comment on jail time for another. If you haven't been robbed you can't serve on a jury. How stupid can all this get? Get over it.

What about Bush's daughters? They have the right to make up their own minds, but what and when did he, as a parent, counsel them to do?

To corruptcore –

You must be living in a cave if you have missed the barrage of attacks on Hillary Clinton from all sides, most notably from the Republican conservatives and the Bush administration. I don't think CNN is giving her a pass, it's just that this particular story points out the hypocrisy of Mitt Romney as an avid supporter of the Iraq war, when neither he nor his sons have served in combat. If you have ever experienced the horrors of war, as my father did in WWII when he was part of the American forces who liberated the concentration camps of Dachau and Bergen Belsen, then you would know what it means to send our sons and daughters to war. My father despises this ill-conceived war and deplores the needless deaths of our brave soldiers.

Are you also suggesting that Chelsea should have signed up so that Hillary isn't a hypocrite like Mitt? Let's take each person for who and what they are. Mitt Romney is a big cheerleader when it comes to Iraq, yet he has not made any personal sacrifice. Hillary Clinton is against the war and wants to bring our soldiers home. So where is her hypocrisy?

Five sons and no military service- not even by the father? What a disgrace.

Where are the families like the Sullivan’s? I guess they won't be found among the GOP leisure class with the likes of Cheney and Romney.

Has anyone asked "W" who got us into the war in Iraq why neither of his daughters have enlisted?

What a surprise!

Like father, like son. No service.

War is good, for OTHER PEOPLE'S sons and daughters.

Pathetic Chickenhawk…

I'm still waiting for Romney to figure out that the Iraq war and 9/11 are two different, unconnected events. He seems to be getting his info from the same source as Giuliani, who also made a bad 9/11 gaff at a previous debate.

Haven't any of these candidates read the 9/11 report? Even President Bush was forced to admit as long ago as September of '03 that there was no connection.

Sheesh guys, do your homework. Nothing scarier than a candidate with no grasp of current events. Except, maybe, a president.

When is Clinton going to be asked the same question? And where are CNN’s attacks on her??
Posted By CorruptCore

Yeah, what about her 5 sons?
You are aware that the Clinton's have ONE daughter? And it's well known how soft the media has always been on the Clinton Family. It must mean that corrupt core means, "soft in the head", caused by a terminal case of CDS.

Van

at least he's consistent: a republican (or democrat) who seems to be more hawkish the more they lack personal military service. in my opinion, no one, not even the "commander in chief", should send people off to die in any war unless they've marched a mile in their shoes first.

Who cares whose children have serviced in the military. Look at former President Bush and look at the President George Bush – it did not matter folks!!!!If it did perhaps Bush would have really talked with his Dad about going to war, really talked with then Secretary and General Powell -honestly and openly. I bet we'd be at a different place right now. SO don't bash anyone for not serving or having their children serve. I thought this was America and that we all are proud of our country for the very fact that we make our own decisions period. Serving in the military does not make you a good President candidate look at McCain, poor guy he is so confused and he was a war prisoner.

Romney and his family are no different from the rest of the U.S. political elite, who ask NO personal sacrifice of themselves or their friends.

It was a bunch of chicken hawks and draft dodgers (Bush, Cheney et al) who started and who contnue this senseless war, and it is the poor and powerless who get killed and injured.

I'm no great admirer of either John McCain or John Kerry, but at least they have some personal moral basis for talking about war. Romney and most other politicians have none.

Interesting description of the questioner, "reputed war protestor." I find this description to be more appropriate, "The woman who asked the question, 41-year-old Rachel Griffiths of Milan, Ill., the sister of an Army major who had served in Iraq."

WHY DOES CNN ATTACK ONLY THE FEW AND NOT THE MANY? WHERE ARE RECORDS ON CLINTON, OBAMA, EDWARDS, ETC? THIS ONE SIDED ATTACKING SOMETHING CNN HAS DONE FOR A LONG TIME. IT DID NOT HELP IN THE LAST ELECTION. IF YOU ARE GOING TO ATTACK, DO IT FOR ALL, NOT THE FEW!

The question came from a "reputed war protestor".

This question is almost as important as PETA asking Hillary about her leather shoes!

Or is the war protestor suggesting only individuals with some type of military experience should run for President? Oops – there goes Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Richards, Biden, Brownback, Giuliani, Romney, Tancredo, and Thompson.

We would get to choose from: Ron Paul, John McCain, Mike Gravel, and Chris Dodd.

Why would Mitt Romney's sons be any different than he is or 99% of the pro-war Republican pols. Except for McCain, they had "other things to do."

Anyone with adult children knows they make their own decisions. His children's choices to join or not to join the military are no reflection on him. Most candidate's children are not serving currently.

CNN I thought you would have enjoyed my previous post on Romney and would have put it up immediately, like you usually do. But, I was mistaken. Could you email me telling me what was so wrong with it that it hasn't been posted?

Mitt Romney's children have no obligation to enlist in the military any more than any other young person in the United States. Because Romney is running for President does not automatically create a military requirement for his children.

What I do find disturbing the Mitt Romney's own military background. This man is hoping to be the Commander in Chief or our military. Because Mitt is such a proponent of the war in Iraq, his views on the extent of force used to obtain information from prisoners, and his statement he would double the size of Guantanamo he most definitely must have a military background. Unfortunately Mitt was in France passing out pamplets instead of serving in Vietnam.

If Mitt had more of an anti-war stance, as do many of the other candidates, his military record would not be as much of an issue. This isn't the case however. He staunchly advocates the war in Iraq. I would not vote for this man as the Commander in Chief of my military.

Serving in the military doesn't make you a instant war expert. If war experience was a requirement there would be no need for the Joint Chiefs of Staff to advise the president. Character and a sense of right and wrong is a more important quality in a president then war experience will ever be. Without those two you end up with someone who can lie to you without blinking and who has no qualms with doing whatever the hell they want to. Which describes 75% of the politicians in office. They always claim they will fix the problem but always seem to break more then they fix.

I am in the Air Force. Lack of military service will not be the reason I don't vote for someone like Romney.

If I'm not mistaken, only a couple of the candidates running for pres have children in the military including none of the first tier candidates. Why is Romney singled out?

When is Clinton going to be asked the same question? And where are CNN's attacks on her??

Bush and Cheney both slipped by in the Vietnam conflict with deferrals, so how can any other Republican candidate with the exception of John McCain even evaluate the Iraq war when they have never been in the service. Takes a hypocrite to comment on staying in Iraq when one has never served.

Wow, this article speaks volumes! Its pretty interesting that Romney supports the war in Iraq and none of his sons are enlisted. Yet Ron Paul does not support the war in Iraq and he has received more money donations from military service personal then any other canidate. The troops want out of Iraq; Romney and other elitists like Bush haven't had to make any sacrifices for this war that they so fervently support!

And we expected anything different? Just like their father, can't commit to anything.

Did they all shift their opinions on the issues every time he did, too?

Big surprise there that one of the biggest supporters of the war and torture, Mitt "I'd double Guantanamo" Romney, who himself avoided service in Vietnam, does not have any immediate family in the army. You would think one of the 5 kids would realize how hypocritical this makes the Romney campaign.
It should also be no surprise that of all the Repub candidates, one of the few that actually served in the army wants the Iraq war to end ASAP. And its no surprise this candidate received the most donations from people in the military.
Go Ron Paul!
