You nailed it...
No one on this thread can present evidence corroborating that actual active military support Ron Paul more than any other candidate or even at all.

Each name on that list, for all we know, could go either way from a purely practical perspective.
So the question is: are the troops motivated to support a candidate who says that their mission is a lie, that they are dupes, and that they are incapable of accomplishing their mission?
Or are they likely to reject such a candidate?

Not their burden. YOU challenged the O.P., YOU supply contrary evidence.

Which is an admission that you have no proof, and no basis to challenge the sample.

Paul has never claimed that the Military is a bunch of 'dupes', you made that up...as usual.
The mission is in fact a lie. There were no WMD's.
More people than Ron Paul are saying that the present mission of the military in Iraq is not possible. Many of them are retired military. i strongly agree with that assessment. The US Military is for the purpose of nation breaking, (which they do quite well, better than anyone else), not nation building, and certainly not for introducing 'democracy' (whatever that means) to a culture that wants nothing to do with it.

I would suspect, given your postulation here, that the troops would NOT support such a candidate. But no one from Berkeley or Code Pink is on the ballot anywhere... and I KNOW you know that Dr. Paul has never once said such things. You are a complete liar if you say he has. But then we KNOW you lie about him so what else is new???
