I take it none of the liberal idiots took the time to click on the link to the article or what the source was....
Although Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was of conscription age during the Vietnam War, he neither was drafted for nor enlisted in the U.S. armed forces at that time. He received a total
of four draft deferments between 1965 and 1970, three for academic studies (i.e., student deferments) and one for serving as a 'minister of religion' while performing Mormon missionary work in France. By the time his deferments ended, Mitt Romney's birth date had been drawn at number 300 in the Selective Service
lottery; since the highest lottery number called for that group was 195, Romney was not drafted into the service.
Although Mitt Romney was not a "draft dodger" (all of his deferments were valid and legally obtained), some critics have maintained that the contrast between his actively seeking deferments and his later
statements about serving in Vietnam is evidence of hypocrisy.
But regardless of whatever else he may have said on the subject, Mitt Romney never proclaimed that he was "too important to go to Vietnam." That statement came from a fictitious bit of political humor which spoofed the issue of Romney's military service and was published in June 2012 by the Free Wood Post, a satirical web site which states in its Disclaimer that:
