I took a poll at our last Walter Reed FReep. All veterans in our group (except for me) agree Ron Paul is a nut

That's a pretty diverse group you polled, my FRiend.

I polled an equally diverse group - all veterans who I personally know and who have made a choice of presidential candidates.

The results? I (USMC vet) support Ron Paul.

My best friend (Army 82nd Abn. "combat" vet of Grenada) - supports Ron Paul.

The big one, after a lot of effort on my part - my dad (combat vet WWII USMC 6th MARDIV Okinawa Campaign, combat vet, USMCR pilot Korean War, USMCR fighter pilot, non-combat vet of Vietnam war, retired USMCR officer with 28 years of USMC/USMCR service) - finally told me a couple of weeks ago that he will definitely vote for Ron Paul in the GA primaries.

As far as veteran donations to the Ron Paul campaign goes, I have personally donated $750 to his presidential campaign so far, and my donations don't show up as coming from a vet, they're listed under my current occupation. So there's really no way of telling just how much of his, or any other candidates support, is from the veteran community.

Thanks for making another point that negates any claim by Ron Paul that he is favored by the military over the other candidates.
