That Ann Romney Could Actually Compare Serving In The Military To Serving A Mormon Mission....
..is so fucking insulting to the millions of us who have served that it just defies any measure of decency or thoughtfulness.
My wife, brother, and I have a total of 76 years of military service - my wife was a nurse and my brother and I flew jets (A7s and KC-135s). It was dangerous, frightening, and exhausting.
One of our sons flies F/A 18 Super Hornets.
Together we probably can't add up all the men and women who were killed or injured in the line of duty - even in peacetime.
That this bitch can actually think what she said -- let alone even say it -- is just sickening.
Her gutless, coward husband got 5 fucking deferments during Vietnam and not one of her punk sons ever got close to "service."
God - what an evil piece of crap.
