Air Force vet Ron Paul is only candidate who is friend of military

To the editor,

Recently, my son returned from his deployment. I am very proud of him and his fellow soldiers. Military families are shouldering the burden of this war. I do not believe in undeclared wars because they are usually questionable and never fought decisively. Advocating a war on a tactic (terrorism) with endless deployments is not supporting the troops or their families. Borrowing money from China and printing the rest to project our power does not make our country safer, but instead weaker.

As a registered independent, I do not care about political parties but instead issues and character. Unfortunately, candidates are still advocating continued occupations, sacrificing the lives of great Americans while adding to our $15-trillion debt. These same candidates never served a day in the military, but are doing their best to scare us into another war with Iran.

There is one candidate for president who is a friend of the military; he believes only in declared wars and understands true national interests. Air Force Veteran Ron Paul continues to receive more donations from active duty military than all the other candidates combined. This is a very powerful statement these service members are making when they support a candidate that advocates ending 10 years of war. Please support the candidate that will reunite service members with their families and attack the real threat to our nation, the deficit.
