I work side by side with the Space Force, so I know a lot of military members.
The truth is it is all over the map. There’s a big difference between the branches of the military. There’s a big difference between enlisted and officers. There’s also a TON of civilians doing work behind the scenes, and most of them are left of center.
The issue is less what the members of the military believe or think is right/wrong, but more how much they will tolerate while keeping their head down for the paycheck they need. I was in the Pentagon the day after the election last year when it was clear Trump had won. It was like a funeral. People were walking around depressed and quiet. Most of them were absolutely terrified about what that election meant. But I guarantee you 90% of those people are either still there or were laid off last year (either voluntarily with 6mo pay or against their will).
