I have been accused of lying, so feel free to take a look for yourself:

For this past quarter:
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q3/

And the one before:
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/

If you click on a candidate, and go to “contributions by employer”, you can see how much members of the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force gave to each candidate. Ron Paul has raised more than any other Republican candidate from military members for the last two quarters.

Here’s a comiled version:

But, if you don’t trust that, feel free to dig through the FEC reports and add it up yourself.

Sorry, but the military employs a large number of civilians. Employer donataions don't indicate actual military members.

How do you feel about about Ron Paul's pork spending on the shrimp industry? He will spend just like all of them if given the chance.

The Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force do hire some civilians. There is no evidence that any of these contributions, much less all of them are from military personnel.
