Just how many “active duty” military donated to Ron Paul?

Doesn’t look like “The Hill” article broke out the AD donations, but why does that matter?

Took a peek at Paul’s list of 2,000 or so individual contributions and went through the As and Bs to count 3 people who note themselves as affiliated with the military (AD not noted by the way, so no idea if they are reserve techs or not).

There are 1.5 million on AD in our military? So even if all 2,000 contributors were military it really is not noteworthy in this fashion.

For comparison, Guiliani has 22,000+ individual contributors, McCain 17,000+, Romney 25,000+ — did the author index all of them, or just took Paul’s claims at face value. I would imagine it would be the latter.

Love the “warmonger” language from Dr. Paul. Since when do conservatives talk like that?
