I acknowledged this. No need to longpost, you're right. I know the overall military isn't made up of rightoids. I'm saying that the small portion of the military that volunteered for jobs with the prospect of personally killing someone is heavily right wing. This group definitely doesn't represent the military as a whole, but you're going to meet very, very few Army or Marine infantry, Rangers, SF, SEALs etc. that aren't right wing. The portion of the military that actually directly fights is relatively small.

Most of the people in those polls/exit poll are active duty, and not officers, as in people "doing the killing."
The point is, the military is following the exact same trends the population is - they're tending left.

America First is actual ideas that work not left or right. Bannon aligns with Elizabeth Warren more than he does with pelosi or shumer. Populism is on the rise and America once again will be the shining light on the hill directing all of us to a new dawn.

"America first" is a slogan created by an economic illiterate to convince other economic illiterates the reason they're failures is America being taken advantage of.

Why do you think being an investment banker means you understand economics?
Above all else Bannon is a right-wing conspiracy theorist, this erases any understanding of the topic he might have.

Lol conspiracy theorist just means you’re ahead of the mainstream news. I do realize you’re not formally educated but try and think logically about what you’re saying. Do you have the credentials or real world experience to determine who is or is not economically illiterate? You go from he’s not economically literate to oh no he managed billions of dollars and has a Harvard mba to never mind he’s an X and therefore that grumps everything. Try and fight battles you can win stay on r/politics or argue with your inbred family don’t reply to my comments

You've got a very skewed idea of the military if you think most of them are "doing the killing". Logistics and support MILPERS make up a tremendous portion of the active duty population.

The military people who go to college before they join the military and not after are definitely at least somewhat more likely to lean left.

Depends on the college, not to mention many non-leftoids and/or rightoids pass through college on a regular basis, it’s basically a rite of passage for the conservative suburbanite.

What about arty, tankers, engineers, etc.?

From my interactions they still lean right because they also volunteered to perform a combat role. They're just not as heavily rightoid as infantry goons. It takes a special kind of tard to still want to be infantry in a world of guided missiles, cluster bombs, and airburst artillery.

How about signals and intelligence? Also, any idea on the navy? I can see navy being more balanced given they all have the same personal risk if the ship goes down.

The more likely a service member is to be sitting in an office, the more likely it is that they're left leaning. Signals and Intel probably reflect the general population as a whole. I'm just going on anecdote; the only big army guys I've really worked with have been combat arms. The Navy and Air Force are definitely comprised of more left leaning people than the Army. The Marines are the most full of rightoids of any branch by far.
And when I say rightoid, these guys might crack racist jokes constantly, but they're just as willing to fight and die alongside a fellow black soldier as they would for a white one. It's rare to see any racist inclinations actually effect how people work and interact from my experience. No one gets along better than two racist privates of different races, who end up as roommates in the barracks.
