I think you can be sure Mitt Romneys press handlers got a bad feeling in the pits of their stomach when Romney gave this answer.
Bret Bair asks if he regrets not mentioning the troops in his convention speech
When you give a speech you dont 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 presidents decision to cut our military.

How DARE Romney even utter the words he uttered today. He has never served in our military, neither have his sons. He has never known the sacrifice or what it means to either serve or be a parent of a child who serves, and he will never know the heart ache, the worry, the tears, the pride, the part of you that is missing while your child serves hundreds or thousands of miles away.
