Military Does Not Equal Troops



Military Does Not Equal Troops

Mitt Romney says military and troops are the same thing.

He's dead wrong, for the same reason that corporations are not people.

People have hearts. They have kids. They get jobs. They get sick. They thrive. They dance. They live. They love. And they die. And that matters. That matters. That matters because we don’t run this country for corporations, we run it for people.


Romney continues to deny the fundamental humanity of human beings, while promoting the lie that non-human entities deserve the full rights of citizenship.

Republicans largely agree with him, in practice if not in theory.

Why does this matter?

The mention of "laundry" list was repulsive. Young men and women in war are not shirts or pants!
