Hey, Romney: I'm a Quaker; but I'm also the son and the brother of veterans
My daddy got a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with clusters, and (eventually) 100% disabled. My family lost two of its three sons fighting for the Union against the slaveholder's rebellion.
When FAUX News asked him why he didn't bother praising America's troops in his speech, Romney responded:
When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important.
His excuse is that he spoke in favor of "a strong military". That dog won't hunt, Mittens: "a strong military" is code for throwing money at defense contractors for programs that even the brass hats don't want or need.
Do you know ANYBODY that served in either of the Bush wars? Do you know anybody (besides your servants) who has a son or daughter over there? Do you know anybody who's lost a brother, mother or even grandchild over there? I don't think so. People like us, the poor whites and the people who don't have to put on facepaint to be "people of color": we're the ones who go and die; and that's obviously not one of "the things you think are important", Mitt.
