in Deployed Troops Hate America. Give More To Obama & Paul Than McCain on Jack and Jill Politics
This research is not very comprehensive. Comparing the 134 contributions for Obama to the 24 contribution for McCain to the hundreds of thousand military personnel deployed throughout the world (japan, S Korea, Germany, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Norway, Iraq, and many other places) is not a good sample of the military population! Moreover, drawing the conclusion that troops want out of Iraq just because of this statement is a very bold generalization.
I spent 20 years in the military (navy), and am still serving as a civilian. While I know of some military family members that support Obama (maybe that's where the money is coming from) I know of very few military members that do.

And your anecdote isn't very comprehensive either. Nor is it convincing.

Right. You scoff at the logical fallacy of drawing an inference from the contributions then try to replace it with anecdotal evidence from within your personal sphere.
