That was an ovesight by the Romney team.
It would have been nice if Romney had mentioned his gratitude for our troops fighting for us overseas; and pledge to make sure that our troops go to war with the backing of the American people, Congress, and government, with all the tools they need, and a vow to make sure their sacrifices are for a worthwhile goal.
No need to open up the divisions over the Afghanistan war that exist even within the Republican party. Just recognize the troops--and their families who cannot ignore the war--as worthy of our respect and thanks.
UPDATE: Mad Minerva noticed the oversight (and thanks for the hat tip).
