people in the military are overwhelmingly republican. Republicans are two-faced, hypocritical liars about their support of "the troops". It's always the same shit with veterans who require medical care as a result of their service. They get shafted every fucking time. Republicans are assholes... why can't they (vets and people in the Service now) see that and see that Democrats and the Democratic party are far more willing to do the right thing by them. Highly trained with a glaring blind spot about who actually cares and puts our money where our mouths are.
