    'A crowd of more than a thousand people met alongside the Washington Monument Monday afternoon and marched to the White House in a demonstration of support for Ron Paul. With an “about face,” veterans and active duty service members turned their backs to the White House and sent a message to the President: Ron Paul is the choice of the troops.

    Adam Kokesh, founder of Veterans for Ron Paul 2012 and a veteran of the Iraq war, said, while he couldn’t speak for everyone, a majority of the people at the event support the Texas congressman in his 2012 presidential campaign — especially for his foreign policy positions.

    “It seems very clear to me that those of us who are willing to put our lives on the line to defend this country want a commander in chief who is going to be decisive, who’s going to put America’s security interests first, and who’s only going to send us into harms way with a clear mission,” Kokesh said. “Ron Paul is the only candidate that comes close to measuring up to that standard.”

    Alex Schlegel, a Baltimore native and member of the Air Force, said he also agrees with Paul’s foreign policy ideals, as the U.S. hasn’t fought in a war constitutionally since World War II.

    “I raised my right hand to defend the Constitution,” Schlegel said.

    Standing at the gates of the White House, hundreds of veterans and active duty service members, including Schlegel, turned their backs. Together, they saluted one second for every service member who has committed suicide during Barack Obama’s presidency. After eight minutes of saluting, they observed a 21-minute silent prayer – one second for every service member who died abroad during President Obama’s term.'

    The only people that don't like Ron Paul's foreign policy are the defense contractors and hopelessly ignorant progressives that consider themselves "conservative."

    ...and people who are smart enough to realize that it will cripple the world economy.

    Paul has the most informed and intelligent supporters of any candidate... it's those that wish for an overextended military, bloated military budget and authoritative policies that are hopelessly ignorant.

    Oh... and the world economy is already crippled.

    So what about all of the nations who ask for our military assistance both now and in the future? Do we just say "(*)(*)(*)(*) you, you're on your own"?

    America has never done that. Ever. Part of our mandate as "Queen of Nations" is to protect smaller peoples like the Taiwanese, the Kurds, the South Koreans and yes.. the hated Israelis.

    Our national security is inextricably linked to Saudi Arabia and its allies as well. We need them and they need us. To pretend anything else is simple geopolitical ignorance.

    I'm so sick of cynics like you always prohpesizing doom and gloom if the world and America doesn't immediately embrace anarcho-capitalism and isolationism.

    You are obviously embarrassed by our responsibilities as a Superpower, that or too cowardly to openly embrace them.

    Those vets need to understand that America has bigger responsibilities to the world and to history and its bigger than them.

    You obviously believe in all the misinformation fed to you by progressive media.

    Those vets need to understand that their government won't put them in harm's way to create a crisis to keep government growing and defense contractors profiting.

    The US is a fascist police state and an international bully.

    Israel is our ally. Iran is not. Obummer isn't exactly backing our ally while he panders to Iran. What exactly is Ron Paul's stance? Let Israel crumble? let them fall to Iran while we whistle Dixie?

    How about...let the dominate country (Israel) take care of Iran (like the Prime Minister and President of the country has requested of us). Israel would have no problem beating down Iran.

    They just want a proclamation saying if attacked..."attacked", America would aid its ally if necessary. They are not asking for our troops, just moral support. we owe them that much.

    How exactly is Israel our ally? How many troops have they sent to aid us in our wars? How many times have they defended us?

    Israel is a parasite, not an ally.

    Where is the Constitutional authority for the US to be the world's police?

    We have never "asked" them to aid our troops. One has to ask first you know. They simply know they face possible extermination by the Arabs. With what they have suffered, we have a karmic debt to assist.

    With what they have suffered, their nation should have been created in Bavaria.

    The Israelis have never offered to help us either. They take our money, steal our technology, sell it to our enemies, and occasionally attack our troops.

    They aren't allies.

    You have some serious issues to work out. I hope you get the help you need with your anger management.

    Beyond being weird, you are wrong.

    They take our money...we give them money along with about a hundred other nations, we buy our friends dear heart.

    steal our technology...we sell it to them.

    sell it to our enemies...we sell to everyone too.

    and occasionally attack our troops...Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the identity of the USS Liberty.

    We give them more than any other country. What have they done to deserve it?

    We shouldn't give foreign aid to anyone.

    Google "Israeli spies in the US". After Russia, Israel is the most likely country to be backing spies convicted by the US government.

    We sell our military technology to China? Israel does.

    ...Right...They just happened to not see the giant American flag and the constant radio calls saying that it was an American ship during the hours that they spent attacking it... :rolleyes:

    Let's face it, you are simply a Jew hater. You have slanted views, slanted to hate Jews. Try directing your anger toward the Arabs who for thousands of years have wanted Jews and Christians dead.

    The Israel argument is similar to that of S. Korea vs N. Korea in that people believe that South Korea is weaker compared to the North. That isn't the case at all... In terms of actual Man Power North Korea wins by roughly 30% but, in terms of actual tools South Korea dominates the field.

    North Korea uses tanks are mainly from the 1960s that aren't even equipped to go through water and nor do they have a night vision.

    North Korea is using Planes from the 1960s which the South Korea Airforce currently has Jets that can lock onto North Korean Jets x10 the distance and are virtually undetectable by the North.

    North Korea's navy is so backwards that they're still using Subs that require them to go full mast in the Ocean to recharge/reair the the Sub itself. South Korea overall decimates the North in Arms.

    But the overall reason the South Koreans can take care of themselves is simply due in large part because of terrain. The North Koreans would starve before a few months with constant destruction from the South... and at the same time the Mountainous Coast, Hilly terrain and Mine fields at the border make a Southern Invasion hell.

    Lets stop living in fantasy land and start understanding that these petty dictators have no strengths at all in the World to our "Allies" we fear for so much.

    Again, I'll take your complete failure to address or counter any of my points as your surrender.

    Nice try at race baiting though.
