luckydog1 -> RE: News flash! Military now comprised of roughly half "phony soldiers"! (10/4/2007 11:13:14 AM)

I love that liberal math. How do you get roughly half from those numbers? Ron Paul got 650$ dollars more Than John Mcain from the 1.5 million active and reserve millitary people, to a whopping total of 19,000$ (19k). Obama beat Paul by a whopping 6k. In a pool of 1.5 million he got 6,000 more. And to be honest, the millitary does have a culture of Strong Patriotic African Americans who joined the millitary to stand up for their human rights, of course they love Obama with an extra zeal. Hillary, who is the front runner and the party is begining to fall in behind, didn't even show in this. And to be honest, there are "Keepers Of the Odd Knowledge" in the millitary: white supremist nuts, very religious want to kill for God types, UFO's, Christian Identity folks. They try to screen them out, and keep the borderline ones on short leashes. Of course they support Paul. No surprise there. the fact is most soldiers don't have the cash or intrest to support people in the primaries, and most of the support that does come is from the Officers, not the Men and Women in the field(the vast majority).
It is an interesting finding that of the statistically too small to be relevant sample the Dems are picking up strength, from past trends. But to conclude as the OP does that "roughly half of the military is now composed of "anti war" soldiers, from this data is just funny. It does show that one side is grasping at straws.
