Sorry I too was a veteran and have been deployed multiple times with NATO and if you beleive that our guys are getting any of the money the other guys are saying goes there you are not living in the real world and I would have to doubt that you really served.

Oh I completely agree the vets are underpaid and under-geared. When I was in, (91-95) as a 91B (Combat Medic). I was working up to 96 hours a week. It worked out to be like $1-2 an hour or some crazy shit like that. I value our troops greatly and appreciate them for everything that they do. But once again this thread was not about, you, me or any of the other candidates. This thread was about Ron Paul. The fact is he could have done a lot better job during an interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press. As a presidential candidate they should always be prepared to answer the tough questions (that goes with any candidate) that pertain to their platform.
