Presidential candidate Ron Paul has received over $7,000 more than McCain who was the closest other candidate. Dr. Paul even received more money from veterans than McCain! It’s interesting to see that the military supports the only anti-Iraq war Republican candidate. It just goes to show you how bad this ‘war‘ really is going.

As recent Army retiree and Ron Paul support you should be clear; Ron Paul is not anti-war, he upholds the use of the military through the US Constitution. He sees a place for the military and understands the nature of war, but recognizes that we should not get involved in foreign entanglements, go to war through proxies like the UN, and that only Congress has the authority to send troops into combat. This entirely different from being anti-war. And this why many of the Armed Forces are behind him.

I never claimed he was anti-war. what I said was “It’s interesting to see that the military supports the only anti-Iraq war Republican candidate.” Which is absolutely true.

[...] Ron Paul has received more contributions from the military than any other candidate. Fox News reported on this but seemed to imply that people were lying about their occupations when donating to Paul’s campaign! You can bet they would be singing a different tune if it were McCain or one of the other ‘front-runners’ on the top of this list. videoembed(’http://www.youtube.com/v/6nwZGRrqhfs’); [...]
