It’s awfully brave of them to mess with this particular voting bloc that may be armed and have arms training.
And who have largely been brainwashed. They'll make excuses, believe lies about the cause of their suffering.
Sadly, you’re probably right. At least about most of them
Military leans 55% conservative/45% liberal. Less veterans likely support this then you think.
I sure hope so, I’m encouraged by the town hall videos with angry republicans and veterans.
The forever suckers just doing whatever they’re told by “authorities” for over 20 years. So sad.
Most veterans don't do 20, especially now. Looks like only 17% do. The military is terrible and pays like dick. Even the lifetime pension cant compete with leaving at 4 and then socking away just the difference in pay for 16 years.
Most of us do our initial term and leave. Lots and lots and lots of us, at about a 45% ratio based on the last polling i looked at, are liberals or leftists.
Veterans are not a unified, conservative voting block. The majority vote for this garage, but an almost equal sized minority do not.
