There always seems to be a certain breed of people in history that do everything possible to get killed and somehow just can't seem to.  I always wondered about that...like Wyatt Earp, or the KKK founder NB Forrest.  They're either very good or very evil people, but either way seem some kind of invincible.

Are jarheads mindless drones who will blindly support a obvious doofuss just because he is a Bushy?

Is the military generally pro-Bush?

In the intelligence field I would say about half are libs of some sort or another and the other half are hard core conservatives.

Thanks and all, but not what I asked.

Only 35 percent of the military members polled this year said they approve of the way President Bush is handling the war, while 42 percent said they disapproved. The president’s approval rating among the military is only slight ly higher than for the population as a whole. In 2004, when his popularity peaked, 63 percent of the military approved of Bush’s handling of the war. <snip>

Just as telling, in this year’s poll only 41 percent of the military said the U.S. should have gone to war in Iraq in the first place, down from 65 percent in 2003. That closely reflects the beliefs of the general population today — 45 percent agreed in a recent USA Today/Gallup poll.(My note:  Thats actually lower than general population, 3% is actually quite significant, that a lot of troops)

While approval of Bush’s han dling of the war has plunged, ap proval for his overall performance as president remains high at 52 percent. While that is down from his high of 71 percent in 2004, it is still far above the approval rat ings of the general population, where that number has fallen into the 30s. <snip>

Similarly, when asked to de scribe their political views on a scale from very conservative to very liberal, there was a slight shift from the conservative end of the spectrum to the middle or moderate range. Liberals within the military are still a rare breed, with less than 10 percent of re spondents describing themselves that way. (Cool, I was dead on...and for the fundies...)

One contentious area of military life in the past year has been the role religion should play. Some troops have complained that they feel pressure to attend religious services. Others have complained that chaplains and superior offi cers have tried to convert them. Half of the poll respondents said that at least once a month, they attend official military gather ings, other than meals and chapel services, that began with a prayer. But 80 percent said they feel free to practice and express their religion within the military.

He is our Commander in Chief, under article 88 we are not allowed to say anything negative.
Republicans though are good for the military, just not when we are involved in 2 wars
