Congressman Ron Paul has defined his Republican presidential candidacy with a staunchly critical stance on the Iraq war, saying during the June 5 debate in New Hampshire, for example, that it was a “mistake to go and a mistake to stay.”
Paul has often reiterated his views that US security has been worsened by its military presence in Iraq, and that Bush’s pre-emptive war doctrine represented one of his administration’s greatest moral failings.
One might think such criticism of the war and the Commander-in-Chief’s leadership would make Paul a pariah to the military community, however, the latest figures indicate the antiwar Republican is receiving more donations from employees of the US military than any other Republican candidate.
Considering how much Ron Paul is against the war in Iraq, it shows you which one was correct yesterday on Meet the Press (hint – it WAS NOT Lindsey Graham).
