Notice Mark that the poster offered no contrary evidence.
That there is a subculture of fake veterans isn't an issue, and wasn't your question.
The poster has no proof.
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.
No one on this thread can provide corroborating evidence that each of the 372 persons listed on the FEC website are ringers.
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?
