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
