Romney's Military Advisers

Three hundred forty-four retired generals and admirals have signed on to be part of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's "Military Advisory Council," according to a campaign statement released this afternoon.

Among those on the council are retired Army Gen. Tommy Franks, a former head of U.S. Central Command, former Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway and former U.S. Pacific Command chief Adm. Timothy Keating, according to the statement.

"I am deeply honored to have the support of so many of our most accomplished military leaders," Romney said in the statement. "Together we will restore our military might and ensure that America can defend and protect our interests, our allies, and our people, both at home and abroad. I will never forget that the greatest responsibility of an American president is in exercising the role of commander-in-chief. That role is sacred, and when I am president, I will never put my own political interests ahead of our military and our men and women in uniform."
