Default Campaign contributions from the military

No big surprise that 2 of the primary anti-Iraq-war candidates, Paul and Obama, are supported most heavily by military donors. McCain, a war veteran, is 3rd. Of course, a record of military folks who donate is not necessarily a represenative sample of the military as a whole, but since some conservatives falsely boast about the right being more charitable, that argument wouldn't help their cause.

All donations are public record, available through the FEC. Here are a few I found with a quick scan from www.fec.gov. These must be some of Limbaugh's "phony soldiers".
