As we found out, Willard was afraid to face the women of the view so he sent his wife. To say it was tense from the get-go would be an understatement even though Barbara tried to smooth the undercurrent.

Almost out of the gate Whoopie asked the question we all want answered but no one is asking:



to clarify if her husband did not serve in the military for religious reasons.


Whoopie:

As first Lady, if you get the job, It's gonna tell a lot of things and one of the the things is going to be talking to the mothers whose children are coming home in bags, you know, from wars. Now I believe that your religion does not allow you to go fight?

Ann responded:
"No, that's not correct,"

Whoopie:
"OK, um, well I say that, what I read about your husband, what I read, and maybe you can correct this, is that the reason that he didn't serve in Vietnam was because it was against the religion,"

Ann's version of Willard and her son's mission:
"He was serving his mission," "My five sons have also served their mission. None served in the military." "I sent them away boys and they came back men."

Whoopie:
"So when you're facing these mothers , how will you explain to them that your sons haven't gone?"
