If you are retired military then you must be retired for a LONG time not to know that there is a sizeable welfare class, even among those in uniform. The professional custodial single parents, those with four children with three different fathers. You can typically spot them at the PX and Commissary making purchases for all four families in the base area they are taking care of. No, Obama has his supporters in uniform, though as you get toward the tip of the spear they are fewer and fewer.

Retired in 1996. Very few, if any of the types you describe when I was active duty.

I knew of many that had joined for the wrong reason but in my career field they were weeded out early because of the stress and the importance of the duty.

Yep, I retired a few years ago and while I wasn't in during the election I knew plenty of folks that I suspect voted for Obama. They are probably more concentrated in the junior ranks but the senior ranks aren't immune.

And it isn't just the "welfare class". It's people who think The Daily Show is a real news show. It's people from families or areas that have always voted democrat and aren't going change just because they are now in the service.
