I know a guy that lives down the street. He makes my head hurt.

The Dems at that core do not like the Military. They support the Military about like they support the police.

I just don't get how people who serve in the Military full time are liberal.

For example, I would bet my left test that this guy is a Democrat

quote:

Salcido has served on the Pico Rivera City Council since 2000. During his tenure, Salcido has been at odds with the council on several key issues.[15] Generally regarded as a progressive Democrat, Salcido has taken positions on the left wing of the Democrat Party


And I was right. Per wiki. I didn't know he worked in politics. I thought he was just a teacher.

NT74 is a hard core progressive. He has a thing for trannies and loves Hillary.

He used to be rational, but Trump broke him.

I know a former Marine Officer that is a hardcore Bernie Bro. Great guy just a victim of his upbringing in the yankee land.

I had a corporal whenever I first got in that was a huge liberal. As you could imagine, he was kind of a bitch.

I knew a few of them in the army. Not quite as rare as you might think, especially support and E4 and below.

Demographically speaking, the active service are approx 40% minorities. Demographically, that's a bunch of "liberals".

Two guys from my high school graduating class joined the military immediately after graduation in 2003 and went overseas for multiple tours. They're both 9/11 truthers who hate both political parties.

I know one. He’s in the Navy. He comes from a conservative family, but he’s gay and took it that it means he has to be liberal. His family is totally accepting of his gayness, but it’s hilarious watching him and his dad debate politics over FB.

ETA. My friend was an officer. He just got out last week.

A few enlisted cats, but all the officers I know are conservative.

I don't understand why athletes are leftist. Their whole reason for existence is competition, where the best finish first without bias or partiality

NT74 is simply a smart arse having fun playing a part in order to get a rise out of people on this forum. He's very good at it and it makes me laugh to see people come unglued because that's the type of response he's shooting for.

I know of one. It doesn't really bother me because I have bigger problems to worry about.

Most of the ones I know lean libertarian (Air Force) or Bernie Bro (Army/Marines) and despise Trump.

The majority of service members in my peer group (30ish) despise being used as props, something the last 3 Presidents have done with regular impunity.
