Romney: Troops "Aren't Important"

[Howey]

Of course not, asswipe. They don't have the billions to donate to you.

"When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important."

Upon becoming elgible for the draft Romney heads to France for two and a half years, living in a castle with servants. Through connections of his father George, the governor of Michigan, Romney secures FOUR deferments so that he doesn't have to serve his country in Vietnam.
~Romney 1967-1968


"It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam, but nor did I take any actions to remove myself from the pool of young men who were eligible for the draft."
~Romney 1994


"I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there, and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam."
~Romney 2007

There's a video on here of him talking with a vet from NH and Romney's like "Oh wow, when were you in Viet Nam" and the guy said "68-69"  and Romney's like "Wow..we're the same age.. I was.." the vet interrupts and says "In school, I know" or something like that. then Mitt says "Yea.. well I had just graduated n 67" .. I don't know if the guy said "Me too.." or not, but he was looking at him like he was thinking it.. and then Mitt drops his zinger "I had just graduated, started college.. and then went work with my church"..

umm
