I did a little research on Ron Paul’s overwhelming support from military donors. At Open Secrets, you can search the data base on each politicians contributors. Turn’s out there are 71 donors who listed US Army as their employer. Contributed just over $20K to Paul. The active duty strength of the US Army is about 488,000. That means 0.0145% of the US Army contributed to Ron Paul. Not what I’d call overwhelming support. (You can do the same for Air Force and Navy. Should be about the same.)
Assuming no one lied. I’ve an acquaintaince who’s a dem donor who is a Dr., an attorney, and a corporate executive. Successful guy, but none of those. Who knows, this cycle maybe he’s an Air Force pilot. To say this is a weak arguement insults proponents of weak arguements. Note the USMC doesn’t turn up, someone might check?
..and of course that assumes they are all honestly filling out the form. Even then, you could work at an AAFES function and honestly put down you’re an Army employee.
