Remeber the day when Republicans seemed to care about national security experience?

WASHINGTON — For the first time in decades, the Republican presidential ticket has little substantial foreign policy or military experience, a marked shift for a party that has long sought to project strength on those issues...

...the difference between the foreign policy and national security experience held by the Romney-Ryan ticket and recent Republican tickets is stark...

...Some presidential historians say the last time a Republican ticket was this thin on foreign policy experience was 1964, when Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater and running mate William Miller were defeated by Democrats Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey.

What happened to that?

Not to worry, there are still plenty of PNACer chickenhawks willing to serve in a Rmoney misAdministration. What could go wrong?
