Oh, but I wasn't saying it was incorrect, as it does make sense if it's the case, more or less. Even if it's only a reflection of the current voting behaviour of the American people at the moment, I think it's tending towards a majority of preferring the Republican side now anyways; even if only because of the current flush of victory. These
statistics suggestions thoughts whatever
don't really say that much at all, nor are really all that surprising or shocking.
By the way... The US military, is it on a voluntary basis nowadays or is there still a compulsory military service in the US? If it's the former, it would explain something about a more to the right tending composition of the military just the same; one look at the wide-spread anti-war protests on the left side of the political spectrum could give an explanation of the "why" of that assumption.
