"Perry reintroduced himself Thursday as a
Republican with military experience that distinguishes
him from other
GOP hopefuls. That biography -- bookended by a poor upbringing in the
small town of Paint Creek and by a job-creation record as governor --
was not shared in 2012, his advisers say, but will be in 2016.
Perry,
deeming himself someone who had "led the most successful state in
America", will also play up his relationships with veterans he has
mentored.
At his event Thursday, he was
flanked by a list of military veterans, including several Navy SEALs
and Taya Kyle, the widow of "American Sniper" Chris Kyle, and Marcus
Luttrell, who Perry called a "second son" — a group that allows Perry to
highlight his five years in the Air Force." CNN
