Of course we in the military lean right....we want our guns and increased pay and benefits, I just got a near $20k re-enlistment bonus because of a GOP controlled government. That being said running from the fight in Syria and Afghanistan and being thrown out of Iraq is a beta boy move.
Obama did one thing that will go down in history, he made a progressive dream come true with the ACA. The biggest positives being the ability to remain on your parents coverage longer and not being denied for pre-existing conditions. The rest was going to be a poop sandwich because insurance companies want to make money.
Someone explain to me why a 5 or 25 billion dollar wall is better than a 5 or 25 billion dollar improvement in border security programs which include common sense improvements of existing walls or addition where they make sense?
I don’t think there was any sort of directed conspiracy with Trump and Co and Russia....I just think everyone involved were complete amateurs and idiots and did many illegal along the way. Probably not impeachable offense.

The military members who are mouth breathers are generally the troops who are Rambo wannabes. I have worked with a lot of military officers in my day, and they are not hardcore Rambos—if they were, they grew out if it. I cannot say that the officers I worked with—overseeing projects—were hardcore left or right. But, they were likely voting Republican, even if they were Democrats, because they are the political group that likes to fund their projects.
Officers are different. Typically somewhat educated. College grad. But my comment speaks mostly about the age range in general so it's not exclusive to the military. 18-25 year olds are mostly mouth breathers, self assured, know it all, combative, emotional, little semi-adults.
I don't mind the hardcore Rambo types as they tend to have the best "army knowledge' when it comes to sucking it up and getting stuff done. Combat arms types you just wind up and let go and stuff magically happens. Laziness and stupidity is rampant in the non combat side....and this comes from a non combat guy but have been in combat units. 12Bs are awesome. :) Basically a bunch of alphas running around acting like crazed lunatics but will get the work done because theres sooooo much hoooooah.
