Guess which Republican candidate has the most contributions from soldiers?

Ron Paul may be more accurately described as a Libertarian. He ran under their banner before as their candidate for POTUS in 1988.
There would be very little international intervention if the USA was run in a Libertarian fashion. That means little to no involvement with the UN, foreign aid and intervention in places like Iraq.
Paul supports a very limited role for the US gov't domestically too. For instance he was the only person to vote against giving freedom medals to Rosa Parks and Pope Paul II. He has supported the elimination of the income tax, federal $ for education too, I believe. Ron Paul is a doctor but doesn't take Medicaid $. He has supported repealing anti-drug laws and anti-prostitution laws. One can see he is hardly a classic Republican nor is he someone who is close to being a Democrat.
With that in mind then McCain may be the Republican who has raised the most $.
