And here's one on military officers, although it doesn't give you a poll or percentage. It certainly reflects some military officers don't like Trump much.
Now going to my VFW and American Legion meetings, Trump isn't talked much about. Of course talk about him would take place in casual conversations prior to and after the meetings. Not during. That was also the Case when Obama was president, he wasn't either. Where there was a lot of talk was the time leading up to the presidential election. Hillary certainly wasn't liked and the butt of a lot of jokes. Veterans did vote for Trump 60-34 over Hillary with 5% voting third party against both.
One thing you need to understand by the lack of talk is once a president is elected, he is our CINC, commander in chief. Regardless of who that is, he gets the respect of the office. The military mind at work.
This shouldn't be a surprise. Veterans have been voting heavily republican since Vietnam. They tend to view the Democratic Party as anti military. Even the 2018 midterms when the public as a whole voted for the Democratic congressional candidates 55-44 over Republicans, Veterans voted for the Republican congressional candidates 58-41
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
