Comment: A Veteran for Ron Paul

Matt,

Like your grandfather, I proudly served in the United States Air Force and recently retired after completing a 22-year military career. I imagine your father must get discouraged at times that many retired generals and other officers against the Iraq war are rallying to others instead of supporting your grandfather's leadership on this critical issue.

I'm fed up with political leaders from both parties who blindly send our military forces into harm's way into no-win wars with no vision of victory or a constitutional declaration of war to rally national resolve. Ron Paul has done more to "support the troops" than any of the other Republican or Democratic presidential candidates that wrap themselves around the flag while shirking their constitutional responsibilities.

I've followed your grandfather's career over the years and I've always admired him for taking the tough stands, no matter how unpopular they may be at the time. I've never been prouder to support anyone running for any political office during my lifetime. I hope other military veterans--active duty, reserve, national guard, and retired, will wake up and support your grandfather. Please thank him for his service to our nation. He is a genuine hero.
