[Vision2020] Have You Ever . . .

[Tom Hansen]

It should be noted that President Barack Obama became "of age" several years after service in the US armed forces became voluntary and Mitt Romney, after four deferments during Vietnam, went off to live in a mansion in France.

I guess that patriotism is whatever you make of it.

My guess is that this supposed disrespect was not intentional, that they'd be wondering what all the fuss (if any) was about, and if they sensed major fallout they'd issue a mea culpa in order to try to save votes.  Otherwise, if they were intentionally disrespecting the Flag/Troops, it would be simply to 'get votes' although I'd question this type of vote getting strategy.
