Unfortunately, that won't be possible. Military personnel cannot endorse candidates while in uniform. I know someone had mentioned that we should also get a quote from an actual soldier. However, I am a veteran, so I expressed this from my perspective, which I'm sure is shared among many others like myself, both veterans and active duty. In that regard, it's not a canned message lacking perspective, by any means.

Hey, as long as the rights have been bought for the photo, I think the picture looks good.
I get the idea of putting a veteran on there as well.

I guess professional graphic designers should look at such ads, but I think it looks too much like the military ads I see everywhere -- I'd look right over it since I'm not interested in joining the military. Maybe make the soldier less noticeable and use some color to make it "less military" ????

lol, I am a professional graphic designer.
I think you might be overthinking it. When you look over ads, it's not such a precise action based off of what you are describing. You may not notice what causes you to overlook the ads, but it is a 2 step process.. 1) you observe the imagery, and 2) you associate said imagery with the message being marketed. This happens almost instantaneously, however sub-consciously you are well aware of what the ad is about.
In this ad, those who are interested in the GOP race won't overlook the ad thinking it's a recruitment ad.

Three cheers for you helping Dr. Paul! Thanks!

How about a real servicemember who is currently deployed to the middle east?....Not only that but one that joined after 9/11 and has spent 1 out of every 4 days of the last 10 years in combat zones. One that has a loving wife and family back home, who has already missed the birth of one child due to deployments and is about to miss another for the same reason.
Let me clear my throat.
"I support Ron Paul because he is the only candidate running who defends the U.S. Constitution, even when it is not the popular thing to do. I support Ron Paul because he supports the U.S. Constitution. I support Ron Paul because he took the same oath I've taken, and he kept it. I support Ron Paul because he see's my choice to serve as a sacrifice for the defense of my country, and not as a pawn to be used for any reason or whim he may have. I've served 10 years now and I've never actually defended my country. Ron Paul wants to let me defend OUR borders for once."
Take them out of context at your will. Just so they don't have to change the ad....
"I support the only presidential candidate who has proven his unwavering devotion to the U.S. Constitution, Dr. Ron Paul. and I'm not alone".
There....that was easy. Anything else?

I can give some pictures if the creator would like. My brother is a USMC OIF veteran and a Ron Paul supporter. I could get some pictures of him at the ball in his dress blues or a posed picture (if wanted). But, I honestly would think a personal picture would have more of an influence.
But, I'm sure there would be many volunteers to do that anyway. Seems like every Marine I know supports Ron Paul.

We can't use pics or quotes from people in the military, it's illegal for them isn't it?

The young voters are anti-war you say, then that is also the target audience for this ad! The ad is not to convince people to be anti-war, it is to get the anti-war people into the Paul camp. The ad shows that the soldiers are pro Paul. Wanna support the troops? Then support the candidate that the troops want! Vote for Paul.
