“Let’s see. Should I put down ‘busboy’? Nah. I’ll put down ‘Army Ranger.’ Sounds better.”

...in many cases, precisely. There really is no way of knowing. As a regular conservative contributor from 1976 to the present, I never once indicated I was in the military even when I was...which was 28 years in total. The military demographics are changing though (for the worse in my opinion) so it would not surprise me if Paul is getting some support. A good study of overall military demographics would be interesting, but with the passing of Dr. Mosokos I don’t believe we’ll see one.

It’s really amazing how many busboys have APO addresses, as well as promotion announcements in Army Times.

If you guys bothered to check the FEC filings, and Google a few of the RP contributors — rather than just making stuff up — you’d find that they are genuine. But you’d rather discredit the facts about the political contributions by American military personnel because they conflict with your fantasies.

Here, I’ll make it easy for you:

http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/qindcont/2/%28ppb|MATCHES|:US|ARMY*:%29|AND|%28tdate|%3E=|:01+01+2011:%29|AND|%28tdate|%3C=|:12+31+2011:%29

The FEC reports record political contributions, which is putting one’s money where his mouth is. Of course, all US military servicemen put far more than just money on the line regardless of their political opinions. That even includes those who vote for Obama.

No doubt there are a few fakes, but I’ve checked several on the Army list and confirmed the names match real soldiers. Perhaps some Freepers could crowdsource the FEC filings and identify the fakes. I doubt it would amount to much, but knock yourself out if you really believe your own BS.

But here, we all know that you’re a busboy-in-training.
