5. The reason Romney used the U.S.S. Wisconsin as a prop to announce Ryan as his running mate . .

. . is because they are both total loser hypocrites when it comes time to supporting the men and women who serve in the military.
And the veterans who already served.

The only thing those two assklowns give a damn about is investing in the large corporations who have companies that get the big military contracts, so they can get some of that delicious, creamy smooth "free" government hand-out money.

And that's all the MIC wants - "free" government hand-outs.
Every time one of the defense contractors pitches some outlandish new system to the Department of Defense, their lobbyists in Washington wine and dine all of the Congressmen from the districts where those companies are located that will build their new system.

Then those Congressmen reach into the deep, bottomless handy-dandy grab bag of U.S. government goodies and start awarding contracts to those companies, who kick back some of that "free" government money in the form of political donations to those same Congressmen.

What's pathetic is that no one in Congress has the guts to put any type of restrictions on those government hand-outs the MIC gets year in and year out.
President Obama is going to have to cut the Defense Budget by half, twice, over the coming years to bring it back into this planet's atmosphere.
And start focusing on taking care of the veterans who have already served in Bush's Wars.
