Not that many will be stationed there but every one will offset those freaky uber liberal treehugging enviro illegal lovin’ freaks who want to keep Austin weird.
Doubtful...today's military is more liberal than we care to admit, a somewhat socialist meritocracy, and it helps to attach yourself to the right people.
It's always been that way, though I'm glad I never served in a unit larger than battalion size. I liked the idea of being a bigger fish in a smaller pond, where I had to wear multiple hats.
