I am a veteran, I know the culture. The video of those sailors cheering their captain who was just relieved from duty, trying to save their lives, will spread throughout the military.

(5,008 posts)was active duty for 20 years. Most of the people he worked with were the Rush Limbaugh fans during that time. 🙄 I once had one of my husbands active duty friends tell me he would never vote for a democrat as long as he had a breath in his body. 🙄 My husbands friend (from military years) votes Republican. Smh Even my own FIL (huge Democrat now) told me he voted for Reagan two times while active duty. 😮 I could be wrong but it seems to me (based on veteran groups Im in) that many vote Republican while active duty but once they are a veteran they might be more likely to vote for a democrat. I honestly dont see any hardcore Trump fans in my vet groups. My husband works for the railroad now and the folks in my RR group are brainwashed. They ran to vote for Trump. They thought he was gonna bring coal back (which means more coal trains which means more money) Then look stupid when his policies affect them. Hubby said all they did at work was bash Obama before. Now they wont mention Trump. Crickets..crickets..
