I had a discussion with my friends the other day about this issue and we were kind of stumped as to why so many military personal are republican. We decided that gun rights and the predominantly hawkish position of the GOP made it a more favorable candidate to the military.

However what we found funny was that while the military supports the more conservative political party, people in the military benefit from very liberal programs. What I mean to say is that the government has a lot of social programs designed to help those in the military. So essentially socialist policies are common in the military yet they support a more conservative party. Just food for thought.
