Ron Paul raises most campaign cash from military workers- On Politics - USATODAY.com:

"GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul consistently has said that the United States should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq and that American military bases around the world should be closed.

"In this campaign, Paul is getting more donations from people who work for the military than either President Obama or any of the other Republican presidential candidates.... This is a trend that also came up in the 2008 campaign.

"There's no way to know for sure whether the campaign donors who list the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and National Guard as their employer back Paul because of his stance on the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars or for his libertarian views on the economy and fiscal policy -- issues for which he is well known.
