In my mad rant fueled by bottles of ale, the context about Democrat soldiers should have been geared towards that of politicians. Left that part out.

I can agree with the officer corp being filled with Republicans - in the scheme of things that is where most of the bluebloods go, but don't agree about soliders - when I was active duty most of soldiers were good ole working class people (and actually too busy training, drinking and trying to have a good time instead of thinking about politics.)
