Ron Paul: Gingrich “Chickened Out” on Service in Vietnam

In an interview with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, GOP candidate Ron Paul  weighed in on his third place finish in last night’s Iowa caucus and explains the future of his campaign.  

Rep. Paul also responded to Newt Gingrich calling his foreign policy “stunningly dangerous” by questioning his deferment during the Vietnam war.  “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.”
