I find it odd members of the military have come out in support of Hillary after Trump said we will not fight costly wars.

Hillary offers stability, Trump not so much.

People who don't think Trump is 100 times more likely to invade....anywhere than Hillary haven't been listening or paying attention.

Trump simultaneously believes that
a. we should invade countries and act in an aggressive manner and
b. we should move away from close relationships with allies, including by abruptly reneging on long-standing agreements.

Combined with Trump's unbelievable proposal to give himself an enormous tax cut, he will completely blow out the budget - while weakening America's international standing in the process.

Conservatives hate it when they perceive that politicians are apologizing for America.  They will be apologizing for Trump for a very long time.

The only reason (some prominent) neocons are supporting Hillary is that they want Trump to lose to retake control, or at least partial control, over the GOP.

Hillary's not likely to wage an agressive foreign policy. Even if she wanted to, it would be politically very difficult for a Democratic President to do. Trump, on the other hand, is just unstable. You don't know what the f**k can he do.
