I know it's fun to run around in righteous indignation, but as a secular veteran, I see the family's inability to make that distinction troubling.

...all of those Germans that were shooting at my father & uncles during the second world war were actually trying to convert them? Amazing!

I bet that willard's sons were all in favor of the Iraq war, too!

PEACE!

4. Mormons Live in Their Bubble

Even when sent overseas on their missions they live in church owned housing,and are strictly monitored and supervised. They are not allowed to socialize with locals and the only contact they have with "the natives" is on their door to door jaunts.

Back home Mormons marry each other, socialize with each other in their church related and social activities. Talk about living in conditions where all their beliefs and cultural habits are constantly undergoing reinforcement to the extent they are conditioned to be as clueless as Ms Ann (and her husband) about everything outside their bubble.

I don't think this poor woman even guesses how offensive she is when she compares the cushy "service" her sons performed in Paris, Bordeaux, Leeds and Santiago in comparison to Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan.

And in America, the number of Mormon missionaries being drafted was reduced and evened out by each state according to State Department policies. George Romney served under the Nixon Administration.

The policy for Michigan is known to American Veterans.

I think that W. Mitt Romney was hiding out in France; hiding from the French government and America.

George Romney was Governor of Michigan at the time. Guess who was chosen for on of the districts in Michigan.

They use symbols like this:



So they really believe they are spiritual warriors.

It must have been a very difficult and scary time for young Mitt Romney riding around Paris on his bike making his way to local hostile cafes trying to nourish weakened body with life-sustaining lattes and hot croissants.
