Today, the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign released its latest television ad . The 60-second spot entitled ‘A Veteran’s Best Friend’ highlights Paul’s military service and unrivaled commitment to veterans.
“Dr. Paul has a long record in Congress as a strong advocate for veterans and issues important to them, particularly in making sure that they receive recognition for the sacrifices they’ve made in service to our country,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
The ad is the first in what will be a $1 million television push over the next few weeks. It is scheduled to air nationally on the FOX News Channel during debate coverage and run heavily in New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina on broadcast and cable. At this stage in the primary election cycle few other campaigns have the ability to make an ad push of this scale, putting the Paul campaign in elite company.
Regarding the campaign’s ad push Benton went on to say:
“Our campaign is seeing growing momentum now and is doing this ad blitz to cement ourselves in the top tier. We’ve seen Dr. Paul’s poll numbers steadily increase, with strong showings in recent New Hampshire and Iowa polls, as well as strong head-to-head showings versus President Obama.”
As a presidential candidate, Congressman Paul has garnered more donations from active-duty military than all of the other Republican presidential candidates combined, and more than President Obama as well. Paul’s consistent adherence to Constitutional principles regarding American foreign policy, and his calls to bring the troops home in order to defend the country as opposed to spending trillions policing and nation-building in foreign lands has gained him wide support among veterans and active military alike.

Rene Reyes: We were fighting what was called the Viet Cong.
Joe R. Pena: They broke through our lines and we had to go hand-to-hand with them.
Rene Reyes: I was one of 9 out of 65 that came back after a whole year, and that’s hard to forget.
Joe R. Pena: We had 75 killed, 115 wounded.
Rene Reyes: Vietnam was hell.
Joe R. Pena: We had never been been thanked for our service. Never. Congressman Ron Paul got my medals for me and presented them to me, and that was an awesome feeling.
Rene Reyes: People break down and cry, because they’re [finally] getting the medals that they deserved.
Joe R. Pena: It takes a veteran to understand a veteran, and he is a veteran himself.
Rene Reyes: Ron Paul is a veteran’s best friend.
Joe R. Pena: He said, “Thank you for your service”, and shook our hand, and gave us a hug. That will always be there.

Why is the media ignoring the fact that Ron Paul gets more support from the troops than all the other candidates combined?

Ron Paul knows his history. There is no shame to learn from history and admit we made mistakes. That’s how we forge “a more perfect Union.” Ron Paul for GOP!

Ron Paul: He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war.He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year. Save America and vote for the Rights of the Individual! Vote Ron Paul 2012!

Yeah, I have some friends who are vets. They are all very awake and aware, and I think they became aware when they were serving, because like you said, they realize that the reason they were serving was for a completely bullshit reason. It’s a truly eye-opening experience.

You know you are absolutely right. I’m an Iraq war veteran and although I volunteered to serve, I feel that because of the false reasons for the war that a whole new generation of service men have been made painfully aware of the corruption in our government.

If we allowed young people to opt out of the social security system as Congressman Paul advocates, the veterans in his heart-warming ad may well be hawking those medals to pay the rent.

It seems to me that veterans are the most awake to the government’s corruption out of anyone I’ve talked to… probably because they have seen it themselves.
