Yes, that would be why the military vote and the verterans are overwhelmingly supporting Mitt Romney. Sheesh! The Romney's are NOT anti-military. Mitt Romney isn't the one cutting defense spending!

You don't think that veterans have already paid a price for their health care?

Obama and his cronies are trying to cut veterans health benefits and have us pay more. I served 20+ years, father 23+, son 6+. Military pay isn't much to support a family, especially the lower ranks. Obama wants the military to pay more towards their health care, higher co pays, prescriptions, etc. Michelle Obama was supposed to be doing so much for military families, but have yet to hear of any great things.

Obama also wants to cut defense spending, which includes cutting our forces, which means people who have served and plan on serving until they are retirement eligible could be out of jobs.

Default Why are the Romneys anti-military?

They're rich boys.

Only little people should shoulder the risk these days.

Sons of wealth and privelege are supposed to collect dividends, not campaign ribbons.

Military are indoctrinated into republican policy upon enlistment. Unless they have formed their opinion before then. Honestly, there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters.

Military is way too heavy. Budget is biggers than other countries military combined. Republican policy is to be fiscally conservative right, can't have it both ways.

That would be his VP pick, Ryan.

He voted for it, then went on record telling us it was a great day.
