    Some. That's the key point.

    You can always find some of some group who are disgruntal. Most Americans love Trump.

    Interesting. I wonder what they'll think about Biden's deferments..... His attack on the VA..... His support for dismantling the military..... His support for Obama's purge of the military flag officers who thought Obama was cra cra We'll see. But then, anyone can make a video.

    I know exactly 1 (one) vet that does not support Trump - and he has legitimate brain damage from a severe car accident.

    80% of my friends are vets. I know 2 who dont like Trump. Another few don’t think he is terrible, it are not fans. Dozens more think he is doing a great job. Finding a few vets who don’t like Trump doesn’t mean a damn thing. The vast majority support him.

    This is just one reason why I think Biden would benefit from picking Tammy Duckworth as a VP

    If you can call 41% “most” then I suppose you are right

    Unless every American in the country was polled you are both wrong.

    You know, you're right and those of us who think so should support him in any way we can. If I had an opportunity to talk to the president I would tell him " Ignore the bullshit however tall the pile, you got this."

    Vets don't vote for people simply because they were military. Vets will look at the whole picture and realize that Biden is a huge mistake and Trump is the only way to go.

    A year ago, most Vets supported Trump.

    That's changing, as we speak, if you find a new poll that addresses that, please let me know.

    24 year vet. For myself, I don't care if the CiC was military or not, he's not on the battlefield directing movements. I don't care that Biden was not military, don't care that Trump was not military. Folks seem to misunderstand that we are an all volunteer force and speaking only for myself, I don't want the guy in the foxhole with me to have been forced their against his will, that doesn't work out well for either of us. But to the OP, I just retired a few weeks ago. If you believe any meaningful portion of the military is pro Biden, nope, but keep thinking that.

    Trump praises our military, praises our guns, praises our flag, praises our Bible, praises our national anthem, praises the police and praises our country. That ain't all bad. Now name one liberal or democrat politician who will openly praise the same. Wake up liberals.

    The vast majority of your friends support Trump. Your friends are a meaningless sample. I have 3 close Nam vet friends. I'm a Nam-era vet myself. All four of us voted for John McCain, so you can guess how we feel about Trump.

    Here's a more accurate survey than your inner circle.

    Military Voters Are A Lot More Critical of Trump

    President Trump drew criticism from retired military leaders when he recently threatened to use the armed forces to calm domestic unrest, and veterans in general are a lot more critical of the president than they have been in the past.

    A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 56% of Likely U.S. Voters who are serving in the military or have served in the past now view Trump as a weaker military commander in chief compared to most recent presidents. That’s a 22-point jump from 34% last October.

    In the earlier survey, 60% of veterans saw Trump as a stronger commander in chief. Now just 32% feel that way. Seven percent (7%) rate his military leadership as about the same as most of his recent predecessors. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

    Nobody needs any praise, especially phony praise from Trump. People need lots of things; praise ain't one of 'em. When are Trumpists gonna wake up to the conman who is picking their (and my) pockets?

    Half of active-duty service members are unhappy with Trump, new Military Times poll shows

    Half of active-duty military personnel contacted in the poll held an unfavorable view of President Trump, showing a continued decline in his approval rating since he was elected in 2016.

    Trump’s 42 percent approval in the latest poll, conducted from Oct. 23 to Dec. 2, sets his lowest mark in the survey since being elected president. Some 50 percent of troops said they had an unfavorable view of him. By comparison, just a few weeks after his electoral victory in November 2016, 46 percent of troops surveyed had a positive view of the businessman-turned-politician, and 37 percent had a negative opinion.

    nobody I know has changed their mind. In fact, support for him seems to have grown. I have not seen anything that would tell me otherwise.

    Yes, we do vote for people because of their military service.

    The whole picture? Like the elephant picture? Please.
