Yes. I've served in both Republican and Democratic presidential control. Let me tell you... when you're in the military you can see a MASSIVE change in the quality of your life depending on who's in charge. Its why most military are Republican.
 
I know that Carter did, I don't think that Clinton cut military spending over the term of his 8 years in office.
 
Personally I can go back as for as jimmy carter, democrats always severely weaken national defense
 
The US spends close to 1/4 of its' entire budget on the military.

You don't think that's a bit excessive and paranoid?
You don't think there are better thinks to spend money on?

The US has been almost continuously at war with somebody or other for almost it's entire existence.
 
Yes they do traditionally. i don't think that will stop Obama from doing it. Besides, he's got a time table for the troops to be out by January 2010.
 
Most enlisted personal vote Democrat. If you respect the troops, and your first concern is their safety, what should you do?
