Reply #31: Hey, my son's a Marine [View All]

with three tours to Iraq and we would never criticize Bruce. My son voted for Kerry. It's time people realized that the military is not one organism that blindly supports the right. And though a majority of military personnel still favor the right, their lead is diminishing. Campaign contributions from the military, which have tupically favored Republicans, are increasingly going to Dem. candidates. And groups like Vote.Vets and Taking the Hill are dedicated to changing the perception America has of the military's political views.
Liberal families have kids in the military. College-eduated parents with advanced degrees have kids in the military. Families with incomes over six figures have kids in the military.
As for upper middle-class conservative families who favor war? Not so much.
