oh snap! Ron Paul zings Gingrich good on dodging military service

he might be bat-guano  , but he WTFPWND Gingrich with style here:
PAUL: I don’t like it when we send our kids off to fight these wars and when those individuals didn’t go themselves, and then come up and when they’re asked they say, ‘Oh I don’t think one person could have made a difference.’ I have a pet peeve that annoys me to a great deal because when I see these young men coming back my heart weeps for them.
GINGRICH: Dr Paul has a long history of saying things that are inaccurate and false. The fact is I never asked for a deferment, I was married with a child, it was never a question. My father was in fact serving in Vietnam in the Me-Kong delta at the time he’s referring to. I think I have a pretty good idea of what it’s like as a family to worry about your family getting killed. And I personally resent the kind of comments an aspersions he routinely makes without accurate information.
PAUL: I need one quick follow up: When I was drafted, I was married and had two kids. And I went.

Ron Paul is so right when it comes to Gingrich on this. This same charge can be made against Bush/Cheney and other war mongering chicken hawks.
Too bad Ron Paul is a total racist!

Gingrich was born in 43, so in case anyone was wondering, he was certainly old enough to be conscripted into Vietnam.

He like many rich people at the time got defermnets to get out of serving in that war. This was noticed at the time and it was mentioned that only poor people were over there fighting and dying not rich or upper middle class people

I'm one of the Last of Mohican Draftees. You had to have lived through this to understand the dynamic. I should have gone to Canada.
