No, they are personnel who were willing to share their political affiliation with poll-takers. Just for clarification, I know the military as a whole leans right...I'm not disagreeing with you there, I'm saying that the military is percieved as very heavily Republican, and from what I've seen from my sailors, thats not the case. You'd be surprised how many are Democrats. Military personnel come from all different social and racial groups, the fact that we are in the military is not the sole factor in political affilitation. I think factual numbers would prove that the military is almost as split as the actual election itself.
