because we are not a military based country, at least we were not supposed to be. the president also oversees many economic issues, should he also be required to have a phd in economics? etc?

Back to the point of the thread. Romney said he was too important to go to Vietnam. Can't get much more arrogant than that.

Such language is definitely a sign of a small mind.
I remember what college life was like during those years, do you? Obama did more than just "try drugs" per his own words.

(again just using your argument here)
I didn't "paint" Obama, he used his own brush. You assume too much. Trying to make this thread about me is a good ploy to take attention away from the fact but it would not help your case to bring in my military record, collegiate degrees, or my up bringing.

I can see why the Dems would want to show light on Romney's lack of military service and the Reps would play it down, since he would be first Rep president that has not served before 1933. Since 1933 only three Presidents were not in the Military and all were Democrats......

Obama
Clinton
F D Roosevelt

Agreed. I'd rather the CIC know the bitter taste of war before making miliary decisions.

Arrogance seems to be a required trait for the position of President of late.
I see Romney was an acting missionary during that time. Was he preaching overseas? I know that religious personnel, i.e., Minister, Missionary, etc., were given a deferment during the time of the draft relieving Romney of being a draft dodger. If the deferment didn't exist, I wonder if he would have enlisted to become a Mormon Chaplain?

actually you very much did try to paint that image, you can try to backtrack but you did. obviously you did not understand me comparing the absurdity of your argument with the absurd argument I made about you, it was to show how absurd it was. But I guess I did not get through to you.

plus, name calling, really? can we step up the maturity level here, please.

when people believe sayings over facts what is to be expected, half the country seems to vote on who says "god" more, and they want to live in a free country as long as nothing offends them.

I have no idea what "sayings over facts" you speak of and I have no idea who or what you vote for but apparently you have a finger on the pulse of 50% of the votes across America. Good for you.
But arguing for the sake of arguing without stating fact or citing points in regards to the OP is nothing but a waste of time. If you can't stay on topic, then in the words of the great W.C. Fields, "Go away kid, ya bother me."
