I would imagine that he was already including Mr. Romney in that statement, but I'm sure that everyone appreciates you pointing that out...
I agree that our politicians should have some type of military experience.

Without the draft in the future it will be tough to have military experience in politicians
And, I just do not agree with having military experience....not sure what it does for you. Having said that as with every aspect of leadership you need to listen, and surely you need to listen to the military. The overall goal of the military IS NOT necessarily a military issue...they implement.
I would never delete from consideration someone who did not serve at least not since the draft was gone. That lack during the draft denoted other things to consider and even then it was not all bad.....people serve in different ways. Would not put military service in my top ten qualifications for President
