Mitt And Defense

All the GOP candidates are pretty much united for a strong defense dept and a strong military. I find this fascinating, with the exception of McCain, not one of them has any idea what it is like to serve in the military. I, personally, can respect McCain's position on the military, but the rest I just shake my head and mumble expletives under my breath.

Example? Sure thing! Romney received a deferment from military service, so he could pursue whatever it is little rich kids pursue. With the "patriotic" fervor that has grasp the country, would that not make him a draft dodger?

I have found in the past, people who have never experienced certain things are the biggest supporters of those same things, like torture, abortion, military service. Why is that? I say if you have not experienced the situation, then your opinion is not founded in fact but hearsay.
