"That Goes Boom!" #1: Operation Iowa Freedom and Saving Privates Romney

During the Viet Nam War, Dick Cheney almost ran out of excuses for draft exemptions. If only his dad had been running for president...

In response to a question from an anti-war activist in Iowa yesterday, MittBot defended the decisions of his five sons not to serve in the military, despite campaigning for a pro-war candidate, "one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."

If the standard for national service has been reduced to running around Iowa with a bunch of CPAC yuppies and handing out free balloons and cotton candy at that stupid straw poll, I don't think we'd get another Repubelickin' into uniform.
