President Trump has some unwavering support from a very unique demographic: Republican military veterans. An extensive new Pew Research Center reveals that 98 percent of these GOP vets approve of the job Mr. Trump is doing. He has some fans across the greater population of vets as well. The poll also found that 54 percent of them also approve of the president.
Another 47 percent of independent vets and 10 percent of Democratic vets approve of the president.
“U.S. veterans, who broadly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 election, have remained positive about the job he is doing as president,” wrote Shiva Maniam, and analyst for the pollster....

90% left over were draftees, no doubt.
Trump hasn’t fired nearly enough people.
Very good
Count me as one!
This reminds me of Robert Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers.”
In his interstellar republic, only military veterans could vote. Everyone else had a second-class citizenship that guaranteed all their rights. But if you weren’t willing to fight for those rights, you had no right to any say in the political process.
Any plan to MAGA needs to restrict the franchise.
In the beginning of our country only property owners had the right to vote.
Thus eliminating the takers from voting for welfare.
What does McCain think about that?
HOORAY vets. Thanks.
“What does McCain think about that?”
McCain should be informed that he doesn’t run foreign policy and that Trump does run foreign policy. Oh, and apparently the senile old fart needs to be reminded that he lost his bid to president. Meghan needs to take him back to Arizona as he’s beginning to sound and act like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.
I am one, I suppose, even though I changed my self-id to independent after Romney, Boehner, Ryan, etc.
Now Trump needs to 1) fix the VA and 2) fix the voting problems US troops overseas have.
Maybe those 3 can rent a house and start a new reality TV series called Golden Traitors.
Trump Fired A Corrupt VA Official. Then The VA Stepped In And Said Not So Fast

A notoriously corrupt Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) manager fired in the first day of President Donald Trump’s presidency — to rousing acclaim from veterans who heralded it as a sign of lasting reform — has been returned to work by VA officials after he filed a civil-service protections appeal.
The return of the Puerto Rico hospital director is the latest example of Trump’s reform efforts encountering the entrenchment of what he has called Washington’s swamp, and comes in the same month a court ruled that the VA may not even be able to fire the Phoenix hospital director, who is a convicted felon as a result of job-related misconduct.
“On the morning of January 20, 2017, the Department removed DeWayne Hamlin, the director of the VA Caribbean Healthcare System, from the federal civil service. Mr. Hamlin subsequently appealed his removal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), and because of particulars in his case that remains under active litigation, he was brought back to work at VA,” spokesman James Hutton told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“As we have underscored since January 20, President Trump and Secretary [David] Shulkin have made employee accountability at VA a top priority, and we will continue to take appropriate disciplinary actions with our employees. The Secretary in this case was not able to overturn this decision once he was made aware of it. We need this ability in new legislation.”

Lol, too funny! Such a show would be a hoot for sure!
I hope those who see this and read at the link above, will call their representatives and ask them to join Congressman Babin in support of our heroes like Derrick Miller!
