Why romney did not serve

"While Romney didn't serve in the military, many Mormons do:

 Rather than joining the armed forces, however, Romney later that summer chose another path. He obtained a deferment allowing him to avoid military service and traveled to France to work as a missionary for his Church, a traditional form of service for young Mormons." (yahoo news 11/3/12)

Waoooh! 

What a noble reason to not have served; just like me who did not serve because I had deferment to expand my trade. My friend John like Romney received service deferment to climb Mt. Everest. My wife received deferment for time for marriage divorce from her previous marriage. My friend James had deferment to fish in River Zambezi. Like Romney we all would have served if we were called after the end of first deferments; baloneys
