I sincerely hope Rmoney's Chickenhawk Vietnam draft deferments are brought to light tonight.

[jpak]

yup

1. Who would bring it up? The moderator won't and the president won't unless it relates to a foreign

Policy question. Would the draft be considered a foreign policy question?

[hughee99]

2. Why?

Is it wrong to seek draft deferments?

I'm not sure how many political points Obama would score with this, and I doubt the moderator is going to bring this up.

3. it is wrong to seek draft deferments for a WAR YOU PIMPED FOR

yes INDEED

[Berlum]

5. It's hypocritical (R)

The republicans excel at Chickenhawkery + hypocrisy.

6. A 20 (ish) year old Rmoney had any influence over whether other people's children

were sent of to die in a war?

7. do you not get it???

Romney is a CLASSIC CHICKENHAWK - war is GREAT as long as it's OTHER PEOPLE doing the FIGHTING AND DYING...that is NOT RIGHT

8. Romney's not exactly the only politician who has supported (or voted to)

send other people's children to war and sought deferments for themselves. I understand the hypocrisy angle of it, I'm just not sure that it means much to anyone who hasn't already made up their mind.

9. LOL

OK, we are done here

[hughee99]

10. Point well made.

[oldhippydude]

4. the draft issue is not as relevant as it once was..

bless our Viet Nam veterans, many of them my age and older are passing.. there are now 2 almost 3 generations that have never known a military draft..

11. Unlike WWII, the vast majority of Vietnam vets, are volunteers, not draftees.
