Despite
being a pro-Vietnam war activist in the 1960s,Willard Romney spent 31 months in
France during the height of combat. Of course since Willard found a way around
serving someone else went to Vietnam instead.
Here is
a subtle way showing how
it is done:
Romney had four student deferments and he chose to hear God(s)' call for missionary service in France where he suffered the slings and arrows of Gallic indifference.
The use of the term
"God(s)," is a subtle reference to the polytheistic nature of
Mormonism, not that there is anything wrong with polytheism. I believe Thomas Jefferson is quoted
as having said:
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
So if Jefferson said
one should not discriminate against atheisms or polytheism, then that's good
enough for me. But that is just me. I am
tolerant that way. Others are not so tolerant.
