[George W. Bush]

I dunno. It's actually just campaign trivia. Ron Paul's donation data is far more complete than the other candidates. Can I guarantee the identity of all persons on that list? Well, no. Who could? The same is true of all the other candidates too. How much checking the FEC does is an open question but their past performance but donations by the Hsu gang or the Indonesians or the Buddhists isn't especially inspiring.

In fact, if Paul had 100% support from active duty, that doesn't change anyone's reasons to vote for or against him. And if he had 0% military support, same thing.

The troops take orders and they do get to vote. They don't select the commander-in-chief. The voters do via the electoral college. Regardless of who is elected, the military will follow its lawful orders because that is their sworn duty.

It was hardly presented as trivia. It was offered as evidence that Paul’s anti-war candidacy was supported overwhelmingly by the men fighting the war.

Sorry for the double post, BTW.
