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

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

I hope you are just having a bad morning, because that was one of the most d*ckish things I’ve ever seen posted on this site.

Like where do you get off saying something like that?

He hates Trump and he doesn’t mind taking down our military to get his digs in. We’ve seen this stuff before here. Remember the hatred towards Sarah when she endorsed Trump rather than Cruz?

The Army and Marines are the branches which are most likely to find themselves deployed to nasty places, and find themselves under fire, taking casualties, and then having their sacrifices wasted by most politicians.

Yes, the best educated branch went Sanders! Navy followed closed behind.

A Navy capital ship was genuinely under fire last when? Korea, if that.

Then why the support for Trump? Unless they are looking forward to going?

The fact that that large a number supports hillary/Bernie shows the extent of the left wing destructive penetration into the military

it shows the impact of making the military a place for women that believe they are making a difference

it shows we are weak at the core

I’m ex AF and support Trump 100%.

So does my active duty Marine brother.

And retired AF father.

*IF* what you say is true, I’d love to see the breakdown within the AF. There are plenty of HS graduates within its ranks.

I hate to admit it, but I think Bernie would make a FAR superior CIC to Hillary.

Well, good for you. This retired MSGT supports none of the above. They’re all scum.

It would make sense that the military would support the two Americans in the race.

Globalism and neocon foreign policy has been particularly disastrous for our men in uniform.

why do 22 percent want sanders?

Because he's an American, and a lot of Americans support socialist "economics".

i’ll have to look up those mutinies you mentioned.

But you sound right about the marines and army.

and you are in a much better position than me to know.

Even then, is a soldier willing to losing Everything by disobeying orders? will his family’s well being come before the country’s?

I don’t know

So basically, one-third of the armed forces support some form of communism in their commander and chief.

Why, given the high number of traitors in the higher level officer corp and the low intelligence of so many troops, should I not be concerned?

Wow. Never thought I'd see open hatred for the Army and Marine Corps here at Free Republic.

The anti Trump crowd has literally lost their minds.

something is very wrong with Sanders winning in two of the branches, Air Force & Navy

I can totally see Bernie winning in the Air Force.

The modern American Air Force is pretty much just another government agency.

They are very un-military.

The only thing military about the Air Force is that they have to wear a uniform.

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

You would be amazed at how many Liberals are in the military these days.
