Shawnie writes: <i>"Most Americans do not opt for a military career."</i> No, they don't. But they also don't pretend they have when all they've really done is ride around in a Winnebago. Adds I support families: <i>"Are you saying that campaigning for a candidate is not a worthy service?"</i> Whatever type of service it is, it's certainly not *military* service. You know: military. As in war. As in risking your life every day... and then having to listen to jackasses stateside who pretend that executing the complicated maneuver of shaking a hand while not dropping your paper plate of ribs at a meet and greet is the same thing as serving in Anbar. Holy mackerel, people. Surely you jest!

Shawnie writes: “Most Americans do not opt for a military career.”

No, they don’t. But they also don’t pretend they have when all they’ve really done is ride around in a Winnebago.

Adds I support families: “Are you saying that campaigning for a candidate is not a worthy service?”

Whatever type of service it is, it’s certainly not *military* service. You know: military. As in war. As in risking your life every day… and then having to listen to jackasses stateside who pretend that executing the complicated maneuver of shaking a hand while not dropping your paper plate of ribs at a meet and greet is the same thing as serving in Anbar.

Holy mackerel, people.

That statement was, tied with Giuliani's "I'm a 9/11 rescue worker, too" statement, the most laughable suggestion of the campaign. <blockquote>Romney is a shining light in an eroding culture. Professional, focused, dedicated, strong. We think he’ll trounce the competition.</blockquote> Shining light? Are you kidding me? The guy is an outright liar and an egregious flip-flopper of the worst kind. He is 100% pure ambition and zero principle. Period. Trounce the competition?

Romney is a shining light in an eroding culture. Professional, focused, dedicated, strong. We think he’ll trounce the competition.

You are so bitter. Are you jealous of the fact that Romeny's five sons support him, which is more than Guilani can say with his 2 children. Are you saying that campaigning for a candidate is not a worthy service? Thank heavens the patriots, or the womens' sufferage movement, or Martin Luther King didn't feel that way. Since when is it a requirement to have your children serve in a volunteer military to be President? Also if you read the whole Romney quote, he is clearly identifing that people serve in many ways, including his sons. He did not in any way try and point out that his son's service is a greater sacrifice than those serving in the military. Your article says more about you than Romney. What bitterness in your childhood makes you resent strong families? What has tainted your writing? You are so bitter.

According to your dig, most of us would not be eligible for public office. That his sons chose to be a doctor or lawyer, etc is hardly an ill reflection. That he has a strong, extended family, isn't that something we all wish for? Romney is a shining light in an eroding culture. Professional, focused, dedicated, strong.

Currently in American service in our military is on a volunteer basis. A great many men have not served. The Romney brothers are not draft dodgers. If they had dodged the draft then you would have cause to vilify them. Now, you just sound bitter. Dear writer you are so bitter !
