Thanks!

Good stuff!

So --- as of December 1 - 8, when this survey was taken of "subscribers to Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times newspapers" (note: these newspaper subscribers might or might not be completely representative of the overall military and or veteran communities... still, overall it seems to be a well done survey, we should probably compare/contrast the results with other surveys):

33% of respondents were optimistic
25% were pessimistic
and 35% were on-the-fence/uncertain
with 8% 'no opinion'


(So, the results of this one survey do not support a claim that "most veterans" are "opposed". That much seems clear.)

Interesting.

(Would perhaps be worth it to look at newer surveys as them come in - given that this was taken before the new administration's defense team had even been announced. This time next year when they repeat this annual survey should prove very interesting as well.)

Thanks again!
