that image isnt really share worthy... is there a better one?

From this image, though, you can't tell how much the US Army, Air Force, and Navy are contributing to Obama and Romney. They could be contributing MORE than they are to Paul which would throw out half the argument of the image.

Awesome

Compare total fundraising numbers. Ron's getting about half of what Romney's getting, yet his top donors are around 1/25 of Romney's. That says that Ron is getting widespread support from lots of different people, while Romney is collecting the bulk of his donations from big banks.

From what I've read, Ron Paul has the highest donation rate from the Armed Forces compared to other candidates.

I don't have the numbers, nor do I have Obama's numbers, though I do have this graph: http://www.ronpaul.com/images/ronpaul-military1.gif

I ran the preliminary military donation numbers for the 2nd quarter that were released by the Paul campaign, as far as the 2nd quarter goes he leads all other candidates and all republicans combined.
