I spent 26+ years in the Army/Army Reserve. Now a disabled veteran.  Don't Mormons believe in military service?

@law53ut Paul wants to return the federal government back to the constitution and give the states back the power that has been taken away from them.

@law53ut Imagine if each state was to implement its own public school programs. You would have 50 different programs. One state can adopt ideas from another state to make improvements to its own existing system. With a federal system it is a one size fits all which is a terrible idea.

I know that some of Paul's ideas seem different, but alot of times he is misunderstood or the media misrepresents him.

@law53ut Hello law53ut. Personally, I like public education. I had a public education, served in Navy for 6 years, and then attended a state ran college for seven years. What Paul is advocating is not getting rid of the public school system, but rather getting rid of the Department of Education (DOE) on the Federal level. The DOE was created in late 70's, early 80's and consists of many unneeded bureucrats and lobbyists. Each state has its own DOE and can do a much better job than federal.

@gapatriot Mormons aren't the ones that came up with this Kolob thing. It comes from the writings of Abraham.

@warmnfuzzzy and what is your opinion of Ron Paul wanting to end government involvement in schools tomorrow? So all our schools should be private enterprise? Exactly how do you see that working? I think RP has some good values but I think he's in the clouds and a bit unrealistic on some things as to how the world works.

@law53ut Great. Super. The last time I checked, the age limit for enlisting in the Army was 40 years old. Shall we expect his five boys to show up at the recruiters office sometime this week? As for me, I have already requested to return to military service. Army Retirees can do that. Don't know if they will take me, but I stand to serve again as needed. Meanwhile, I do volunteer work at my local VA Hospital, helping our wounded warriors.

@rolovolo HE did!!

@jvolstad Of course they support the troops and they honor our soldiers. If you will read "The 5000 Year Leap" by Cleon Skousen, you will understand the patriotism of the what the LDS people believe in. We have conservative family values and a strong belief in God and country.

@jvolstad I know the jehovah Witness don't but I think Mormons are ok with it.
