ARLINGTON, Va. — According to newly released FEC reports, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has received more military donations than the other three remaining Republican candidates combined
.
"The latest numbers make it clear: the troops support Ron Paul," said Ron Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "Dr. Paul has worked his entire career working for veterans, and has many awards and endorsements due to his dedication to their cause."
A search of the FEC database by employer reveals that Dr. Paul has received 1160 donations from military donors, nearly triple that of John McCain, and more than McCain, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee combined.

I hardly think 1,160 means the troops support RP.
That’s barely more than one battalion’s worth.

It really would be interesting to know who many of those 1160 actually wear the uniform of the US Military and how many of them are civilians working for the US Military in some civilian position.....
In either case the donations haven’t transferred into a huge success in accumulating national delegates has it?

I wonder how that compares to the percentage of military votes he is getting.

We don’t pay our military enough. They don’t have a lot of free money to send to candidates.

Factually misleading. DOD employees, Military Retirees etc are lumped into the number recorded by the FEC. The Paulbots are claiming all them as “Military Donations”. The donations aren’t all really from what most people consider as “Military” personnel
