Why would any veteran support Romney?

Recently I noticed that one of the latest polls taken showed that the majority of military veterans are supporting Mitt Romney for president. Isn't that just great? I'm assuming that many of these veterans have not been informed of some facts about Mr. Romney.

Mr. Romney was able to avoid Vietnam because he was on a Mormon mission driving around the French countryside. While in Paris he lived in a mansion that featured a cook, butler and pricey art. This mansion later became an embassy of the United Arab Emirates and is now worth about $12 million. During the time America had a draft, using religion as a reason for not serving was somewhat accepted as a conscientious objector, but Mr. Romney then shifted to receive educational deferments, which to me merits the title coward.

1. Because they like Obama less.

Don't know how much positive support by contrast.

Take your pick for why some veterans don't support Obama:

* Obama will take away guns.
* Obama is not an American.
* Obama is a Muslim.
* Obama is destroying this country's "prestige" in the world.
* Obama is destroying the military with his draconian budget cuts.
* Obama isn't a Christian.

2. I'm pretty sure conscientious objectors don't protest FOR war.
