The conservative lines against soldiers who oppose the Bush policy in Iraq seem to die the death of a thousand qualifications: rather than listening to military men and women first, the Bush-supporters seem to be forever prejudging them as wrong and cutting them out of the herd based their own random prejudice. That may be good campaign strategy, but it is bad foreign policy. [...] [...] S-Town Mike responds to Bill Hobbs’ responding to comments made by Freddie O’Connell.

I think the question pretty much answers itself. The majority of the military is giving donations to Ron Paul, even more than Obama. Ron Paul has won most of the straw polls and most thinking people are behind him. I don't think anyone should elect someone based on whether they are black or a woman. I have voted for all Democrats since Ross Perot, but this election presents an option to vote FOR someone for a change, instead of just voting for the lesser of evils. We need to pull our troops from all countries that are not a direct threat, and Iraq and Iran are no threats. If we continue on this path of war and spending, we will end up just like Rome.

I cannot look to Iraq and see any good choices. And I cannot look to a healthy national dialogue for working through the options we have available. Although I can safely say that I don’t think military strikes against Iran are among them.
