Trump is risking his business empire and is risking assassination to serve America. What are you risking?

They came up with one of those CNN stats that said 30% of our military was democrats. It sure has change since I served. It was like 0% were democrats that enlisted. Democrats were drafted. Average age was 30 because they fought it in the court system for 10 years. There might be a few democrats that enlisted but they are only there to watch your ass not cover it.

The military tracks many things, but voter preference does not appear to be one of them. But the military newspapers do surveys, and they discover that the enlisted tend to be registered Democrats, at least at a higher percentage than general population, and the officers tend to be registered Republican. In both cases they tend to be slightly more conservative, but the most junior enlisted are more liberal. Voter registration is less than the average civilian population, and voter participation is lower too. Significantly, the more mobile the service member, the less likely he is to be registered or participate, and the more senior the member, the more likely to participate. There is a slight but significant difference in some other demographics, but otherwise they look like the civilian voter base. The major complaint military members have is that military votes are either not counted or arrive after the results are announced, or that their votes are uninformed or insignificant in midterm elections. This drives down participation.

The first part of your item proves the adage that if you are young and naive, you are liberal. If you are older or more educated, you are conservative. Thanks for the post.

As an ex-marine officer I can agree with you.

When people are young and naïve, they generally have "no skin in the game", as they grow older and start making more money, they realize that liberals want to take that money and give it away, thus, they become more conservative. It's easy to give other peoples' money away and that's what the government does. The government does legally what Jesse James went to jail for.

The government wants 40% of my income. I wanted it spent on the wall/fence to protect American Citizen's but was told it had to go to the IRS so they can pay rich Senators to do nothing to protect our American citizens.

The problem with the OP is the general public knows next to nothing about soldiers and unit cohesiveness. Add a woman to a group of fighting men and that woman will be someone's wife, sister or girlfriend. Men naturally want to protect women and that will have an adverse effect on how they operate.

Same with transgenders. What they want shouldn't be considered. The military has a job to do. Political correctness has no place in it.

I totally agree, women should never be allowed in a combat zone period.

There are many jobs in the military for a woman. Combat is not one of them.


🇺🇸 God bless America and our military.

I wouldn't want someone with gender dysphoria covering my 6. When you consider the stats regarding the suicide rate of homosexuals & transgenders to be 40%+, its not difficult to see why these troubled persons should not be our military. Only a "leader" with the same type of mental/emotional problems would have ever allowed this train wreck to happen in our armed forces in the first place. Thank you, Obysmal.
