Okay, if that's the extent of your analysis...
But that just puts the question one step farther along: why are 59 percent of them Republicans, and only 13 percent Democrats?
Are Republicans more likely to enlist? Or does being in the military expose you to things that make you tend to think like a Republican?
Please don't anyone insult either our military or my intelligence by piping up with something along the lines of "they're afraid to admit they're Democrats."
