If I wasn't deployed so darn much, I would have done something similar. Unfortunately, there really was no Presidential Candidate when I served, that either understood foreign policy or supported the basic principles of the golden rule amongst nations. 3/75 lead the way.

of course there is. I don't know where some of these people get their information...

don't kid yourself, there would be action taken and I doubt there will be anywhere thousands if there are any...

Buldawg82 has it right: I am not a Paul supporter as everyone knows, but I do think he will put a stop to this if it goes any further.

That's the point of it being a protest. Rules or not, people take action based on their morals.

and marching doesn't usually get a person very far, plus what part of "they are not allowed to openly support a candidate when they are military" do you not understand? Let's see how far this goes, my guess it will go nowhere fast!!!

How many of you have checked out infowars.net or paid any attention to what is behind all this? Check it and then tell us the march is really going to happen.

They can't do so while in uniform. Out of uniform they can support whoever they want.

are you sure of this? even if it is true and it didn't used to be (things could have changed) then it remains to be seen or learned, if possible how many are really in the military? That is like saying all those involved in OWS really have no jobs? Get real for heaven's sake.

Please...haters, keep making fun of vets. Make your voice heard loud and proud if Obama has to go up against Paul. It's very important that your hate for our defenders of freedom stays elevated.

Let's wait and see if "thousands" actually show up.

My money is on "dozens".

FYI: to take part in the march next month, we have to provide proof of service so yes, everyone marching in the front will be Veterans. The ones in the back will be other supporters.
