Shocking no one, Mitt Romney is a dick to our troops
Asked by a friendly news outlet why he didn't bother praising our troops in his speech, Romney responded:Wrong answer. You thank the fucking troops. They are not a laundry list. And while Romney might not think they are important, they kind of are.
When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important.
Romney then goes on to claim that he talked about a "strong military", which was totally the same as thanking the troops for their service. Except that it's not. One of them speaks to the institution, the other speaks to the individuals who do the work of the institution. It's the same distinction as corporations and the people who work for them -- a distinction that Romney famously fails to understand.

I don't get it. Wasn't Mittens a "man in uniform" when he was in HS and college? One would think he would care more about men and women in uniform.

Sometimes when Im lying in bed at night counting sheep and thinking about the day I often wonder about: 1) ponies and 2) the fact that a bigger deal hasnt been made about the fact Mitt Romney used to dress up like a police officer in college and pull people over. For fun."
