Why do you think the majority of service members would rather vote for Trump instead of Hillary?

This just goes to show Hillary is viewed in the military. You can count me among those going for Trump. After what she has done in Benghazi I honestly don't know how any service could support her. Leave Americans to die and not even sending any support to them is not something that goes over well with many of us. I don't think I will have to go to much into detail about that.

Hilary- Service members are pissed about email scandal and lack of follow through in regard to losing troops under her watch. She simply doesn't appear to care. However, Bill fooled around on her, we all sympathize with that one soldier who's significant other did something similar. She seems to garner sympathy more than respect.
Trump- Everyone knows that one angry senior enlisted who swears if he ran the Army we'd win all the wars. He has no education, but he's been in the military since Washington was in charge. He also refuses to be politically correct and he constantly talks smack. We always say how'd he make a horrible general, but we kind of wonder if maybe he would do ok. That's Trump and that's why the military likes him.

Trump does have knowledge of how the military works, he might not have been commissioned or enlisted, but he did go to a military school. Whether he learned anything.... We can only hope. He can't do any worse than the current dear leader

If anyone wants the military to continue to exist they should not even think about voting for Hillary.

CPT L S - She sure got it done in Benghazi. You could just ask Chris Stevens. O'wait, you can't because he was killed in a hostile attack that was caused by a video. My bad, I am wrong again. She lied about that video. It was a planned attack that she lied about. At least you got the sh*t part right.

You are right. She didn't have any time. Her department only had 600 requests for better security. She didn't have any time to address this at all.

600 ‘requests’ from Benghazi for better security: What this statistic really means
This widely cited figure is almost always described incorrectly by politicians and the media.

I honestly don't see how anybody with any ties to the military (active, vet, retired, etc.) could have ANYTHING to do with Hillary. Just for the email scandal alone! We would have gone to Leavenworth had we done what she did!

PO1 John Miller - I support Sanders. But, I'd vote for Hillary over Trump. Hillary is a criminal and liar, but I don't think she's going to destroy the country at anywhere near the rate that Trump would. Clinton will give us more "politics as usual." Trump will give us the "Reality TV" Presidency that will move us one step closer to the real-life "Idiocracy." I'll take the slow boat to destruction that is Clinton rather than the rocket-ship to oblivion that is Trump - at least with Clinton, we'll have a chance to pick someone better in four years. I don't know that whatever Trump does will be un-doable.

CPT L S I hope you are seeing the tread here. Here is another that doesn't agree with you supporting Hillary.
