DescriptionTwo days before Super Tuesday, amid throngs of adoring evangelical Christians, Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said he doesn't have any military experience -- but he has been a soldier.

"Giving your life to Jesus means you've just enlisted," he said "To follow him is the real deal. It is a battle."
