Trump got the most of the Republican candidates in all four services. He also got the most among officers across all four services. The Air Force has plenty of uneducated airmen, just as the Army and Marines have plenty of college graduates, so the Officer category is more important if you want to use “educated” as a yardstick.

The Air Force can’t be all that educated if 34% of them plan to vote Bernie or Beastly.

"...Least support among the Air Force. The best educated branch..."

Yeah. The Air Force is probably all for Bernie Sanders...

The biggest candidates are the anti-Establishment ones: Bernie and Trump. It’s similar at my kid’s college: most are for Bernie, the rest for Trump, and the Bernie supporters will stay home or vote for Trump rather than vote for Hillary.

If this is scientific, something is very wrong with Sanders winning in two of the branches, Air Force & Navy. The Army & the Marines support Trump.

why do 22 percent want sanders?

20 percent of our military is made up of communist sympathizers?

And the establishment in DC is supposedly the best educated too, just ask them. I could go off on the other differences between the branches but that is reserved for those of all five I worked with while I served. You sir are a know nothing ignoramus as professed by this Army Vet who knows better from first hand experience.

Trump has made growing the military and taking care of veterans central planks in his policy platform. Of course they support him.

For the past 20 years, ‘educated’ has been synonymous with ‘indoctrinated’.

So you analysis means sheet.

The Toupeed Mussolini gets the most support among the Army and Marine Corp(sic). The least educated branches.

It's Corps, not Corp, O educated one.

The strong showing for Sanders, indicates the danger of a full-time professional military our founders knew too well.

The fulltime military class are trained, fed, housed, clothed, medicated, and ordered what to do from dawn until dusk. After 20 years service we have a guaranteed pension plan. We are indoctrinated to feel superior to civilian trogs and told to expect entitlement, respect and deferment from swearing in until spudded under. How can it get any more Sanderesque.

Not surprising the Navy is more commie than most...think mutiny of the High Seas fleet and the Kronstad sailors. Must be something in the salt air.

Now the air force....I just think they are gay.
:-)/humor.

Note however, the Army and Marines, the more masculine of the services tilt strongly to the right.

Coincidence?
