I only regret you’re repeating it day in and day out. When you give a speech you don’t go through a laundry list, you talk about the things that you think are important and I described in my speech, my commitment to a strong military unlike the president’s decision to cut our military. And I didn’t use the word troops, I used the word military. I think they refer to the same thing.

To him, they are the same thing.
Just like corporations are people. He’s into collectivism, obviously.

Joel, that is about as lame a response as I’ve ever heard. You’re right — military is institution — troops are people. Not recognizing the men and women serving in harms way is simply unconscionable — and suggests he’s not a fit commander in chief.
Every president is always worse than the previous one.
