An Interesting Statistic

[Iron_Ranger]

I have no links to back up my numbers, however, I have heard several times that military personel votes for the most part Republican, however I have heard minoritys make up a very large percentage of the military, and minoritys have in the past voted for the most part, Democrat.

Hmm.


Note: Before you start guessing, I am not suggesting anything by this, its merely something I thought of.

So...
You post a statistic you can't back up, and you're not suggesting anything by posting it? So why post it in the first place?
And frankly, I fail to see what good it would do to the Republican side of the matter to post this little tidbit in the first place... It's a good thing you said you weren't suggesting anything, because I don't know what you'd be suggesting that could possibly be used to the advantage of Your Side Of The Matter.

At the same time the other IW works in that other dimension there is a death. They find Grojlach345 dead with a donkey and elephant picture and sign thats says death to all Trolls!

And perhaps this would still be valid if one would change Grojlach345 to LordK587. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don´t see why this statistics can´t be correct though. How many men are in the US military? And how many hispanics, african americans etc. live in the US? Wouldn´t this add up to that a minority of the minority votes republican?

Lord K, why did you change your font color? You´re confusing me.

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.

Of course what IR claimed wasn't even a statistic at all, more along the lines of a rumour, observed trend, or personal opinion.
There may some numbers floating around on the net somewhere (ie: real statistics) that prove or disprove what IR says, but I'm not going to bother looking for them. IR, you'll do us the honour won't you?

Perhaps the weeks and weeks of Military training, and the years and years of education during a Military carreer opens the eyes of said "minorities" and they see that not all is as the Nanny-party would have them believe?


Sorry but MagiK-666 asked me to pass that along
