Military Times/Syracuse University: Biden +6 among military troops

Biden may have the Navy, but Trump has the boaters

He has THE MEATS.

There's also a thread about this in the parent 2020 board: https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=391936.0

As I mentioned in that thread, this is much less favorable for Trump than in 2016.  In their October 2016 poll, the overall results were:

Trump 40.5
Johnson 27.0
Clinton 20.6

By rank, it was:

Officers:

Clinton 31.7
Johnson 31.3
Trump 26.2

Enlisted:

Trump 43.3
Johnson 26.2
Clinton 28.4

Why are military officers, of all people, so libertarian compared to the general population?

Some of it has to do with viewing libertarianism as "the third way".  Purely conjecture, but a decent number of military officers seem uncomfortable painting themselves as partisan Democrats or partisan Republicans.

If anything, probably understates Sleepy Joe's support, considering only the tryhards subscribe to the "Military Times" (each branch has their respective version), since they are always laying about free in every post around the world.  

When I was active duty, I never knew anyone who was a paid subscriber to the Army Times.  I'd laugh at such nerds.  

Quiet Army man... what was your MOS?

31B.   I checked ID cards.  

But it was a fun few years.   Got to go to Germany. And deployed to some interesting places.  Mostly in the Balkans.  

"What did you do in the military"

"I was a cop"

Far superior to a cop.  A gate guard.

Did the gates ever get up to mischief?

I don't know how such a stupid joke made me chuckle out loud.

Ugh. Could I seriously be morphing into dad humor?

If you're pro-pencil, does that make you erasist?
