Maybe...

While active service is predominately white 71%...

These are the States with the most active members...

California: 190,160
Texas: 173,118
North Carolina: 129,049
Virginia: 117,084
Florida: 94,288
Georgia: 88,521
Washington: 65,731
New York: 50,824
South Carolina: 50,426
Hawaii: 49,347
Maryland: 49,187

Big Blue amidst some red.

Appears an apology is warranted here.

Yo, Lakeboy, time to own up.

more than one of you trumpettes has posted this on your fb wall ... and you seriously believe bush jr's guard service during vnam equals actual service ... curiously, you would not have posted romney on this meme, and you have not posted trump ...

If the left can imagine themselves to be different genders and different races, I don't know why they can't imagine they don't loathe America. If they suddenly identify as war heroes, who can argue with them.

You guys do realize these threads have the easiest counter in the world.

Here we go:
"why have conservatives villified draft dodgers for generations but have now voted one into office?"


indeed, and Cheney was the biggest coward of all, he had many war deferments, but was all in for his business interests in Iraq.

The lifers are definitely strongly Republican. Lot more variety at the lower enlisted level, but still pretty Republican overall.

Meh, if it wasn't for the working class Dumacrats and independents in the blue wall states and Pennsylvania who voted for President Trump, he wouldn't have gotten the Electoral College votes he needed to become POTUS.

Because they can. Seriously, that is the answer.

The conundrum for libs is why the narrative won't stick.

You're expecting left-wing loons to be rational & reasonable? Since when has that ever happened?

Even if I didnt like Trump, I would salute him for the way he has caused libtards to totally lose their shite. Trump is the Left's kryptonite.

Were you opposed to the Vietnam war when it was happening like all the lefties back then were?

I was a lefty back then and I was opposed to the Vietnam war, protested it and praised anyone who did anything to avoid it.
