"Some join in order to fire some unique weaponry: pistols, rifles, automatic weapons, artillery, tanks, etc. Some join to travel the world. Some join for unique opportunities like flying jets, or jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, or traveling on a submarine. Some feel a call to serve and defend their country, whether it is on the front lines, or supporting the troops in a rear area. Some join for the benefits like health care, retirement, GI bill, veteran benefits, etc. Some join for the education from ROTC scholarships or Academy appointments, and military training in rare and valuable career fields.
Some join for the discipline and structured environment, where fashion and family name are less important than professional and athletic ability. Some join to be surrounded by like minded individuals where respect runs both up and down the chain of command."

Interesting isn't it, how little respect Mr. Paul and his supporters actually seem to have for the military and that little thing called the USCMJ.
Since when is NOT sacrificing the lives of our military personnel over nothing to do with protecting our borders and everything to do with oil showing little respect?
Even though Ron Paul gets more individual donations from active military personnel than any other candidate that means little right? Those active in the military don't know whats good for them, they should just keep their money all because YOU know better.
Show some respect for the ones involved, the ones whose lives are on line.
FYI, I was against the invasion of Iraq from the begining, Bush Senior knew it was a bad idea, but his son is not as bright. I am against Invading Iran, unless they do something to justify it, and at this time they have not.
wow something we agree on.
Iran attacking us is the only reason I can think of to declare war and invade Iran.
They better check with their comander first, I do believe there are rules against active duty personnel doing this. If it is against the rules they could all face charges under the UCMJ and be in Big trouble.
That is correct, it is against the UCMJ to protest, march or openly make a political statement while in uniform. I think that these are phonies, because every private to general knows this

Encouraging people to disobey the regulations that they agreed to adhere to is a complete sign of disrespect.
Using uniformed active duty personnel to make political statements is a complete sign of disrespect.
You can parrot the talking points about donations, etc. all you like.
The fact remains that Mr. Paul is using, or is attempting to use, members of the military for his own political purposes, which as far as I can tell, has absolutely nothing to do with protecting our borders or any other sanctioned duty.

Very well said and clear enough for anyone to grasp. I'd rep ya again but I have to wait

Cute, and mostly stupid.
Joining the military was merely about a "hobby" or playing games. And now is the time to go and complain about the outcome. How mature of them.

Must suck to be at the receiving end. Stop complaining about freedom with the run-around show you just performed.
