The United States now has two paths forward, Romney said. He called one "the pathway to Europe," suggesting Europe had acquiesced to geopolitical threats. "To shrink our military smaller and smaller to pay for our social needs."

The other path, Romney said, is "to commit to preserve America as the strongest military in the world, second to none, with no comparable power anywhere in the world."

Someone remind me again how Romney is exactly like Obama? Because, as far as this active duty E6 can tell, the only commitment Obama has made to the military has been to shrink it.

I tell you what E6, my son is in the military too. I’m voting for Romney, I’m not going to leave any soldier as their CIC. All the arguments to bash Romney are null and void with this point. I don’t think highly of Romney, maybe that will change. This is where were at. The high and mighty might as well vote for Obama, and make a statement.

Wanting a strong military isnt, in itself, a virtue...

Hitler wanted a strong military.
Mao wanted a one too..
So did stalin...

Oh wait.. so does every damn statist prick.

Romney has a family full of military service - his dad served, Romney proudly served and didn't avoid the draft and flee to France, all 5 of his sons proudly served.

Oh wait, Romney, his dad, and his sons all had about as much desire to serve their country in uniform as obama did.

Since Mitt’s line immigrated to America in 1842, to personally serve Joseph Smith, after having converted in England, there is not a shred of evidence that any of his line have been “patriotic”, not a one has ever served our nation in uniform, or displayed “patriotism”.

For 170 years, no draft, no war, no need, no patriotism, no anything has managed to snag one of his line, even when they run for president during war time, the sons don’t enlist, or join the Guard.
