"You know when Newt Gingrich was called to service in the 1960s during the Vietnam era, guess what he thought of danger? He chickened out on that and he got a deferment. He didn't even go. So right now he's sending these young kids over there to endure the danger and the kids over there and the military overwhelmingly support my campaign."

Why didn't Paul mention that Romney was also a draft dodger? Although he participated in pro-war protests, Romney used his Mormon religion to claim that he was a "minister of religion (http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/specials/romney/articles/part1_side_2/?page=1)" so that he would be exempt from the draft.

Probably because he was answering a question regarding a comment by Gingrich. Yes, I am answering Clyder.
