For the democrats
Click on the "permalink" and check the numbers for yourself. The writer has biased the story by narrowing the focus to Obama and Mcain. While it may be that Obama's contributions from deployed military out do McCain's by 6 to 1, the articles conclusion that the military is leaning democratic by the same margin seems to be quite a leap. If the numbers were examined by party rather than candidate it would come out like this....
Contributions from deployed military Democrats $63,882 from 140 contributors Republicans $76,027 from 152 contributors For all the military $849,219 from 1,703 contributors for Republicans and $519,459 from 1,288 contributors for Democrats. I'll let you all draw your own conclusions, this stuff makes my head hurt.

Give some people a soapbox and they will make any story seam factual.
Glad to see you dug deaper rb, some people would read that article and that is were they would stop. I for one always check the validity of e-mails that I receive. There are plenty of resources on the net, put out by reputable associations.

The beauty of statistics is that they can be manipulated to say whatever you want them to say.
However, it would make perfect sense for the guys getting shot at and blown up to support the guy who says he will bring them home. (At least thats what he did say) POW's used to sign letters saying they loved Commies to keep from being tortured. Oh and for the record, I am niether Democrat nor Republican, I don't trust any of em.

But are you registered as an independent? When I registered, I did a little research and there actually is an independent party. So I actually wrote on my form "no party affiliation".
