Why the US Military Loves Ron Paul

San Rafael, Calif.

Since the dollar figure sited, some 24 thousand bucks, is about what one of the major candidates takes in every hour or so, am wondering why this is important?

Does the "US military" as an institutional entity, express this support for Ron Paul? Or is it members of the US military who, maybe, like the fact that he wants to get them the hell out of Iraq?

Without much more than innuendo offered, and the pathetic dollar figures, this amounts to filler...

Which is surprising, coming from someone who usually has more substance to his work...

Maybe it was the edit?
