And... Bernie Sanders is getting more MONEY from military members, then nearly all other Democratic candidates combined.

Loser Bernie will take away Tricare, an EARNED medical benefit covering 9.4 million active-duty, military retirees, and veterans.

I'm surprised that that the favorability numbers are even this high.

Abandoning the Kurds to be slaughtered and handing over our military bases and equipment in Syria to the Russians rubbed a lot of military folks the wrong way.

Having a Commander in Chief who tweets like a lunatic, and doesn't appear to have even the basic grasp of what is going on in the world can be a bit unnerving.

When Mattis resigned, many of the military folks we know lost their enthusiasm for Trump.

That doesn't speak very highly for your circle of veterans. The fact that military officers are more opposed to Trump than enlisted people, could easily be explained by the great difference in educational levels.

Just look at the NDAA 2020 Vote. There were several things in there that are beneficial to military members and their families. He didn't vote, Booker voted nay, Warren didn't vote either. That says quite a bit.

Today`s military is far different from the military in WW2 John Wayne movies. It`s no longer a bunch of white guys.
