During the Vietnam war, lefties praised anyone who did whatever they had to do to avoid being sent to Vietnam so why are they now condemning President Trump for doing exactly what they wanted him to do back then?

The voluntary military we have now says otherwise. I do believe they are strongly Republican.

There's a simple answer.

It wasn't conservatives who voted President Trump into office.

If conservatives didnt pull the lever for Trump he would not be in office.

Civil War--started under President James Buchanan (Democrat)
WWI--US participation started under President Woodrow Wilson (Democrat)
WWII--US participation started under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Democrat) (though this was necessary due to Japanese attack)

I get what you're saying, and I'm starting to deal in shades of gray here, but avoiding the draft in order to go to Russia, later protesting the war, smoking dope, and harassing returning soldiers (Bill Clinton)... is much different than avoiding the draft and studying at Wharton Business School and building a business and providing jobs.

Meh, real conservatives didn't vote for President Trump because they thought he was a liberal.

At virtually every level, and you're an idiot if you think otherwise.

The rank just defines what kind of Republican.

Also false. Typical recruit comes from a slightly above average household income and education level.

The military also also gets wealthier and more educated the closer to the front lines you get.
