Among people who have donated at least $200 to a presidential campaign this election cycle, Obama has collected more than $327,000 from those identifying themselves as military personnel, while McCain has collected $224,000, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission data by The Associated Press.
McCain might think that because Obama never served in the military that doesn't make him qualified, but apparently those serving in the U.S. military don't all agree.
