Poll question: Would military enlistment increase with Democrats in charge?
Maybe someone else can help. I don't have any statistical data on this. But my theory is that getting these idiots out of government would give young people more faith in the military and increase enlistment. I think the military wants Democrats to win for 2 reasons.

1) All this administration is doing now is sending our best men into harm's way to serve as decoys while these cowards rake in the bucks. Sadly, in a way they are treating soldiers like sacrificial lambs. We're actually sending terrorists Americans to kill so they don't kill Americans over here. It's really a sick and perverted way to use the military.

2) Due to point one, young people today would feel safer and more productive joining the military with a Democratic government in charge with real strategies.

What do you think?

1. Most people who enlist do not consider politics as part of their decision.
Many do so out of family tradition, career choice, economics, or a sense of patriotic duty.
