Liar. The military are not stupid rightwing dittoheads (although there are some of those I know). Many in the military are surprisingly moderate and thoughtful people. Also 50% of the military is now minorites (and growing) and very few of those are Republicans. Military personnel are also often living just above the poverty line and the GOP doesn't give a damn about people on that financial strata.

The Dem Repub split in the military is about 45/55. Kerry got 42% of the military vote in 2004 despite 50 million in outrageouis smearvet lies, not a single claim of which was true.

Now after the debacle in Iraq, it is PROVEN to military people know who is right and who is wrong. Bush-Cheney are clearly wrong and have cost a lot of military personnel their lives. As a result, democrats have dozens of Iraq veteran candidates, almost all of whom are winning now.

Kerry is mostly seen as a smart, honest war hero leader who was right about Iraq and fights to protect veterans rights.

Bush-Cheney dodged the draft, avoided war, slashed veterans benefits, lied about WMD, and ordered the military into a quagmire without a plan, then just left them there. These Bushies like to talk tough, but they are dishonest cowards who have decimated our military. The military is largely up in arms against Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld. Which is why most retiring generals are speaking out against those neocons.
