Good fail, drew. Nothing you posted says that liberals are enlisting as readily as conservatives.

If you think the military today is monolithically conservative, keep burying your head in the sand. I can assure you it's not.

The Left wins by slowly transforming institutions. If conservatives want to speed this process up by encouraging a conservative defection from the ranks out of spite towards Obama, rest assured this transformation will happen quicker.

Wow, you’re really good with the monolithic blanket claims, but not so good with substantiating your claim. I didn’t claim the military is ‘monolithically conservative,’ so good strawman there, by the way.

I have been in 23 years and I still find that baffaling that everyone thinks that the military is some conservative bastion. I was especially saddened in 2008 when many military folks voted for Obama especially on the officer side. I know that I will be blasted for even mentioning this but the truth does hurt sometimes.
