Kos posted this on Friday, but I'm surprised that it hasn't gone viral yet. I'm posting this again because I think this is a campaign killer for Romney. Obama should be making an ad quoting Romney on this.

When Fox news asked Romney why he didn't mention the troops in his speech, this is what Romney said:
When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important.
Kos also made this very good point:
Romney then goes on to claim that he talked about a "strong military," which was totally the same as thanking the troops for their service. Except that it's not. One of them speaks to the institution, the other speaks to the individuals who do the work of the institution. It's the same distinction as corporations and the people who work for them—a distinction that Romney famously fails to understand.
