According to my military friend it's the blacks (though a smaller percentage than the 95% that support Obama nationally) who support Obama for the same reason as Colin Powell, because he shares the same skin color as them, the former "don't ask, don't tell" crew and a lot of the career officers whos think kissing up to the party in charge will further there chances for advancement through the ranks.
You don’t see many blacks in Special Forces. I asked one Special Forces guy about medals. His comment, medals are for blacks. We do things every day that if they do them one time, they get a medal.
I am not racist. I am for equal opportunity and equal treatment. No preferential treatment for any group.
