I have never served in the military in any capacity.
Which is immaterial to the point: Ron Paul by his own admission served in a military he did not believe in solely for the cash.
One of my hugest pet-peeves is when someone who never served complains about the service of someone who did honorably, be it Paul, McCain, Bush, whomever. If a vet wants to go ahead and do so, I won't raise a peep, but for non-veterans, forget it.

He was a doctor with a private practice when he was commissioned. He certainly wasn't "moving on up" financially. And a very good portion of our guys and gals serving overseas currently enlisted due in large part for the financial benefits. Please don't smear them.
