As a member of a 5-year military family, here's a few:

They'd rather protect our own borders, rather than ride around booby-trapped roads, getting blown up in terrorist nations halfway across the world, with no way to defend themselves (the term is "sitting duck" and is pretty degrading for American soldiers).

They are ordered to do things so horrid that the media must censor them, and that they must live with for the rest of their lifes. And of course, if they survive, Americans pay taxes for their psychological and PTSD treatment.

They are following the orders of total imbeciles (politicians) who serve the campaign contributions of the Military Defense Complex. The goal: blow up as much taxpayer money as possible!

They pay taxes and know that war money is NOT used to do anything useful or productive HERE in the USA--in fact, all that war money goes to help FOREIGN economies and is a total loss to our struggling nation.

Ron Paul is the ONLY Presidential candidate who will bring our troops home to defend our own borders, and spend our tax money HERE in America instead of rebuilding foreign ghettos we've blown-up with million-dollar bombs. Then we can give them lots of foreign aid so they'll like us.

Time to READ Ron Paul's Libertarian (Founding Fathers) views and question why the media has a total black-out on his wins and successes, and why every media bigmouth on both sides hates him equally.

So we get to choose between Obama, and the "White Obama"--once again holding our noses and voting. Ever wonder why nothing changes, except to get worse. It's because we fall for their media campaign every single time.

Maybe pick a candidate YOU'VE investigated, instead of the one "your" Party has picked for you (since both Parties are the same anyway).

No one can say that the military overwhelmingly supports anyone.

The overwhelming majority of military members don't even vote just like the rest of society.

They've been sent to war for years now and remember in '08 it made the news that many of their votes were thrown away, didn't get counted from Iraq, etc. They're often crapped on and yet used in very thoughtless ways, to say the least.

I don't believe this nonsense that their votes were thrown away. Military votes weren't gonna throw that election one way or the other. If their votes were in on time, they were counted.

Before I respond to your question I'd like to know who, in your opinion, are the sane/balanced/rational going to vote for?
