My basic point was this: It is entirely possible for the majority of the military to dislike Bush and it not be reflected in the vote. I'm not quite sure why you are so bothered by this idea.
You wouldn't understand it without actually reading the whole thread - which I'd suggest you do.

You're talking about something that isn't being talked about.
