Defer me, please

Glenn Greenwald has an interesting piece on the current crop of Thuglicans (particularly Romney) and draft deferments based on today's piece on Romney's early life as a "missionary" in France -- which gave him a deferment from military service in Vietnam.

I suppose I shouldn't criticize too loudly, since I too actively sought out legal ways to avoid service in Vietnam. But, then again, I was not a war supporter like Romney.
