" Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons' decision not to enlist in the military, saying they're showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."
Romney, who did not serve in Vietnam due to his Mormon missionary work and a high draft lottery number, was asked the question by an anti-war activist after a speech in which he called for "a surge of support" for U.S. ****** in Iraq."

Romney supports the surge of working class and poor as soldiers in Iraq apparently.His sons have better things to do, like trying to get him elected.
