“Since moving to and retiring in Texas I have been surprised by the number of Former/Retired Military who are DINOs(not RINOs).”
LOL they’re really more anti-government than anything else. They distrust Big Business, but the hate the idea of a nanny state.
I’ve been trying to tell people here for years that the military is not monolithically Republican. A lot of Freepers can’t seem to get it through their brains that the military is a cross section of America, and votes that way.
I knew military officers who supported Dukakis, although that was certainly not the norm. I also knew very few people in the military who were anywhere near as conservative as I was.
