Also, we all know about who got Bin Laden, and it sure as hell wasn't a regiment of Marines or Army grunts.

There's nothing wrong with being ready for a ground war with a large enemy army, but our enemy is different these days. Our military needs to be a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.

Romney's comments about strengthening the military stem directly from a need to have the military industrial complex humming so rich people can get richer. There's not a single concern about what is actually needed to keep us safe in the age of Islamic terrorism.
