[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an air force brat.  One of the things I remember as a young child is attending military events where they had parades and such.  It was quite inspiring.  Then, when my son finished boot camp, I was overwhelmed with pride as the soldiers marched onto the field.  
For me, there is something deeply moving when watching a military march.  Watching our military with such precision and discipline is impressive.  
Since less than half of one percent of our population is active military, not everyone has had the opportunity to witness a military parade in person.  It stirs patriotism in people.  
Perhaps this is what Trump is hoping to invoke in our citizens - a sense of patriotism - non partisan patriotism.  [/quote]

Very few people in America have any contact with the Military.

Career-oriented troops favor Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton by a 3:1 margin, a new Military.com reader survey has found.

Of the more than 1,300 active-duty, National Guard and Reserve members who responded to the questionnaire and plan to vote in the Nov. 8 presidential election, about two-thirds, or 67 percent, said they plan to vote for Trump, while about a fifth, or 21 percent, said they intend to cast a ballot for Clinton.

"Write this down: T-R-U-M-P," said one respondent who identified himself as Hispanic or Latino and politically independent, spelling out the candidate's last name after a reporter introduced himself on the telephone.

"I have a lot of reasons to vote for him because I've been following him my whole career," said the Army major, who requested anonymity to speak freely about the election without fear of professional repercussion. "I know he's wacky … but I really think he cares about us and cares about America.
