Veterans tend to vote republican. I’m guessing the numbers would be about the same for active members. Says a lot about our military doesn’t it? They approve of this.

No, I don’t think so.
I think it’s worth noting that “veterans” as a population skew heavily towards old white men. If you weight for age, gender, and race, does that veteran population support Republicans at higher rates than non-veterans of similar demographic profiles?
I suspect if people actually broke out veteran preferences by age, gender, and race, you’d see that almost all of the veteran support for Republicans can be explained by their other demographics, not really anything special about being a veteran.
Wait until veterans learn that DOGE is planning to cut their pension and disability benefits. Their current plan is to only let you get one or the other, but not both.

Here’s a 2023 Pew profile of veteran demographics that shows that:
I couldn’t find active duty polling for 2024, but the active duty vote leaned Biden in 2020.

Time for a covariance matrix!
Yeah I would love to see 2024 polling for active military, but I couldn’t find any either.
Probably didn’t get their mail in votes counted, even if FVAP did their job and got them everything.
Not only that, but after all of the insulting shit Trump has said about them. They should be ashamed.
I’ve spoken to vets about trump calling them ‘suckers and losers’, they don’t care and still support him. It’s sad and disappointing to say the least.
Ugh, I hate to say it but if they still support him after that then maybe he’s right?
