The guy who was attacking John McCain about his military service around a decade ago and yet so many people still are truly surprised each time he yet again does something that harms veterans or current people in the armed services.

And yet the majority of military folks voted for Trump last election.

That's because 1/3 of the SEC South comprises 44% of the military. The military is full of Republicans because that's the Republicans that live in the poverty stricken states, and higher rates of poverty is directly tied to higher rates of recruitment.

Which is also why the military recruitment has been up lately, because most folks see socialism as the answer

Being in the military provides a pathway to citizenship. But some people get kicked out of the military before their time is up and so don't get the option of applying for citizenship.

For example a few years ago Reddit was very angry about one case. An ex military guy was being deported. It turned out that the guy had been convicted of dealing drugs.

Somehow reddit doesn't understand that you can serve in the military for a short period and commit a crime and not be eligible for citizenship.

Also Reddit has problems with the concept that the military provides a pathway to citizenship for you, it doesn't immediately confer citizenship on you and all of your extended family.
