They want to come home

What else can we conclude when they vote with their wallets for the only candidate who promises to bring them home? From Q4 FEC reports:

Total Military Member Donations to McCain, Romney and Huckabee Donations Combined: 732

Ron Paul Total Military Member Donations: 931

(Research by a Ron Paul Forums member; details below)

I just did a basic search on the FEC's website which posted 4th quarter campaign donations today. It turns out that from this basic search, Ron Paul is blowing the other candidates away with donations from the military again. I used a basic search by typing either "Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, and Coast Guard" into the search field and this is what I came up with:

Army:

Ron Paul - 413 donations
McCain - 141 donations
Romney - 72 donations
Huckabee - 42 donations

Navy:

Ron Paul - 242
McCain - 185
Romney - 22
Huckabee - 33

Marines:

Ron Paul - 109
McCain - 67
Romney - 20
Huckabee - 23

Air Force:

Ron Paul - 137
McCain - 69
Romney - 10
Huckabee - 40

Coast Guard:

Ron Paul - 30
McCain - 4
Romney - 1
Huckabee - 3

Total Military Member Donations:

Ron Paul - 931
McCain - 466
Romney - 125
Huckabee - 141

Total Military Member Donations to McCain, Romney and Huckabee Donations Combined: 732
