why do 22 percent want sanders?
20 percent of our military is made up of communist sympathizers?
The strong showing for Sanders, indicates the danger of a full-time professional military our founders knew too well.
The fulltime military class are trained, fed, housed, clothed, medicated, and ordered what to do from dawn until dusk. After 20 years service we have a guaranteed pension plan. We are indoctrinated to feel superior to civilian trogs and told to expect entitlement, respect and deferment from swearing in until spudded under. How can it get any more Sanderesque.
Not surprising the Navy is more commie than most...think mutiny of the High Seas fleet and the Kronstad sailors. Must be something in the salt air.
Now the air force....I just think they are gay.
:-)/humor.
Note however, the Army and Marines, the more masculine of the services tilt strongly to the right.
Coincidence?
Because he's an American, and a lot of Americans support socialist "economics".
You would be amazed at how many Liberals are in the military these days.
Obviously, according to those numbers. Obama’s people have infiltrated the military during the last 8 years. And here we are fighting with each other while he pulls stealth moves like this under our noses.
There have always been liberals in the services...just that in years past, they usually kept a very low profile as their positions/beliefs weren’t in line with security requirements or the positions of their fellow servicemembers.
The services are a reflection of what society has created...unfortunately, society is running full throttle pumping out little socialist munchkins and we’ve had socialists and communists in government for some time now. They’re emboldened to be proud of their socialism and political correctness.
That this is surprising to anyone here, is, in itself, surprising.
If you’re interested in what has been happening to the USAF, follow John Q. Public...a retired officer who constantly HAMMERS the service on its nonsense.
I imagine what is happening in the USAF is also happening in the other branches, maybe just not as evident.
I agree—kinda surprising. One could figure a heavy minority lean, except Bernie’s supposed to be struggling there.
I’d guess the answer is that the military is overwhelmingly young—and those are the ones gullible, brainwashed, and ignorant enough to fall for the Leftist call.
It’s the kids.
The military doesn’t teach history and esprit de corps like it used to. Lots of PC BS right from the beginning.
