Active military Pres donation numbers in as of Feb 29
http://exchangegoldforcash.com/money...ary-donations/
The closest runner-up to Paul in the Republican race is Romney, who reported $13,300 in military-related donations as of Sept. 30, and $36,108 from those employed by the military as of Feb. 29. In contrast, Paul received more than $220,000 from military donors from October to February… What the hell do these "soldiers" think they know about foreign policy anyway? I think we need to make sure they turn off the internet and put on some talk radio and MSM tv in the future to stop these sort of mistakes from taking place again. I believe this will receive just as much coverage and acknowledgement as Ron Paul drawing 8500 students at University of California, 7800 at UCLA, and 6000 plus at Chico State this week, too

You left out the money Obama raised from the military. While not as much as Paul, the President did exceed Romney's totals.
As of Sept. 30, 2011, Paul had received $95,567 from members of the military, edging out President Barack Obama’s $72,616, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. By Feb. 29, that lead had more than doubled to $315,109 compared to Obama’s $148,308. The closest runner-up to Paul in the Republican race is Romney, who reported $13,300 in military-related donations as of Sept. 30, and $36,108 from those employed by the military as of Feb. 29. Obama is outrasing Mitt better than 4:1 with the military.

I would bet most of those are officers wanting to be approved to move up the ranks, and for those who aren't it is seeing that Obama is even more of a warmonger than Bush was, ha ha!
Giving money to a sitting president is pretty common for the ever political officers. The fact that Paul destroys Romney and Obama combined is a very interesting turn of events though.
