The GOP Nominee for Commander-in-Chief doesn't say "troops" or "veterans" in acceptance speech.

Did Mitt Romney thank our troops for their service in his acceptance speech last night? No. Hell- the man who wants your vote for the job of Commander-In-Chief couldn't even bring himself to utter the word "veterans". Giving Mitt the benefit of doubt... no- fuck that- THIS is as close as he came to mentioning our blood and treasure who answer the call to duty-

"Everywhere I go in America, there are monuments that list those who have given their lives for America. There is no mention of their race, their party affiliation, or what they did for a living. They lived and died under a single flag, fighting for a single purpose. They pledged allegiance to the UNITED States of America.

That America, that united America, can unleash an economy that will put Americans back to work, that will once again lead the world with innovation and productivity, and that will restore every father and mother's confidence that their children's future is brighter even than the past.

That America, that united America, will preserve a military that is so strong, no nation would ever dare to test it."

That's it, folks. In other words: the military is there to serve the advancement of the economy. Looking at those words again, he doesn't even mention "freedom" or "democracy" as something our military fights for.

He disgusts me.
