(58,626 posts)as a veteran, I have not supported Repubs since Nixon. They don't support the troops or the vets.

The troubling polls of military personnel before the election saw Trump at around 40 percent with Clinton and Johnson tied for second around 20-25. I'm kind of a loss to explain it, but a lot military vets I know around my age are into Tomi Lahren, Infowars and racism.
