If a new poll is to be believed, Donald Trump has earned the support of one of the most coveted voting demographics.
After surveying 931 members of the armed forces, researchers found that out of all the candidates running for president in both parties, Trump was the preferred choice for the majority of them. A solid 27% of the survey’s respondents said he was their favorite candidate, with his closest rival being socialist Democrat Bernie Sanders who came in at 22%.
More specifically, Trump enjoyed high levels of support from the Army and Marines, both of which saw 30% of respondents listing him as their choice. Although he wasn’t the preferred choice of respondents in the Air Force or Navy, he still had significant levels of support, with the branches having 23.58% and 22.35% of their members favoring him respectively.
The numbers are a major boon to Trump, who has been hounded by critics for his relative lack of foreign experience. Earning such impressive levels of support from servicemen will undoubtedly help him mute such attacks.

Although Trump may lack traditional foreign policy credentials, the men and women of the military seem to think that he has a strong grasp on the subject and can be counted on to look out for the country’s best interests. Gaining the support of such an esteemed group alone is a worthy accomplishment for anyone seeking the presidency:
“The data seems to indicate that the GOP national security establishment’s attempt to discredit Trump’s foreign policy credibility has failed — at least as far as servicemembers are concerned.
Trump’s hardline stances on national security issues appear to have attracted dedicated support from members of the military, though several military officials have complained about his aggressive statements on torture and the killing of terrorists’ families, which Trump had to walk back.
Officers surveyed still favor Trump, albeit by a smaller margin than regular enlisted troops. Officers ranked Trump first with 21 percent support and Cruz second with 18 percent.
And even though Sanders has also been perceived as weak on foreign policy, that fact hasn’t hurt his polling numbers among servicemembers.
Despite Sen. Marco Rubio’s attempts to prioritize foreign policy in his platform and despite the Republican national security establishment essentially throwing all of its might behind his campaign, he ranks second to last in the survey.”

Trump is!
I think it was kinda telling that the ground troops want Trump and the ones set back from the fighting like sanders what do others think about that
Justin Lee and how many wars has trump dodged? Exactly! You think your memes are factual lol!
I can’t believe a single member of the military supports Bernie, let alone over 20%…very concerning.

Why do you continue to say I didn’t serve after I already told you I hadn’t served? It’s quite irrelevant. Of course nobody can find Trumps medical documentation. 1, it’d be over 50 years old by now, and 2, how much medical documentation do you think you’re going to find. on someone like Trump? Get real, man. You’re telling me to get my facts right yet Joe Biden literally got FIVE student draft deferments. He wasn’t disqualified for his asthma that he had as a TEENAGER until after. Haha. You’re wrong about Clinton also. Let me rephrase my initial claim. He got deferment for having the ROTC status. He was a student at Oxford and was drafter and supposed to be inducted into the Army in 1969. Senator William Fulbright pressured the head of the ROTC program at the University of Arkansas, to admit Clinton into the ROTC, which would result in a different draft classification for Clinton and allow him to receive a deferment. Clinton had promised to leave Oxford and enroll in law school at the University of Arkansas in order to enter the ROTC program and receive a draft deferment since the military required a student to be attending classes full-time before they could be admitted to a University’s ROTC program. Colonel Holmes supposedly bent to the pressure and admitted Clinton to the ROTC program which resulted in Clinton receiving a deferment that allowed him to avoid induction into the Army. But instead of enrolling at the University of Arkansas and joining the ROTC, Clinton returned to England for another year at Oxford. The temporary ROTC status was enough to keep Clinton out of the Army.
So…he faked it to get his deferment. Like that makes it any better than actually joining ROTC for a deferment. Get your facts right. It doesn’t matter why Cheney got his deferments, he still got them. 5 of them. Regardless, the fact remains that basing your opinions off or building opinions off things that happened 50 years ago is just pure ignorance. Good luck, Chuck.
