Romney's Mission
The issue isn’t whether being a missionary is a good or bad thing. The issue is when it was Romneys ass on the line he chose the missionary path, when his ass isn’t on the line he chooses war.
I think we should never go to war without having a no exceptions draft. Not because I am pro-war but because I feel we’ll get involved in a lot less wars. If Bushes daughters could have been drafted and sent to Iraq, would Bush have pounded the war drum? Was it just coincidence that the end of the Vietnam war came soon after draft deferments were disallowed?
If someone feels there is value in going to war, drinking martinis on a cruise ship or shopping at the mall does not constitue supporting the war. War supporters better be willing to sacrifice their own life as well as the life of their children in order to support that war. Otherwise they are nothing more than the loathsome cowards Rudy and Romney are.
