In all my years in the military we only got 10% pay raises twice ... both times under Republicans.

We also got hazardous duty (jump pay) and combat pay doubled under Reagan.

Why any soldier, marine, Air Force or navy guys vote Democrat is beyond me but the navy guys, in particular, seem to lean left as a whole. Guess it has to do with their high LBGTQ enlistments.

Maybe....just maybe....there are plenty of servicemembers who don't just blindly vote GOP because they see military pay raise is one issue of millions.

We got great raises under W....also wore down military manpower and equipment overdeploying to a disastrous conflict in Iraq.
