Someone in GD said the military voted 80%+ for Bush. Is this true?

I don't know, but I am fairly sure it was not that high. Every total I have seen so far shows Kerry winning.

It would't suprise me it being 80% cause the R-wing "LIAR" Rush Limbaugh has been piped to all the troops in
Iraq and Afganistan since the war started. I think Chenney has a part in it. I believe their is no
alternative to the hate radio rant. Air America radio would be alternative for the troops but
we all know Chenney wouln't allow that. It's Scary.

I saw and read alot of reports pre-theft-of-america day that the military were strongly supporting Kerry BUT I also heard of reports they had to vote with the commanding officer standing behind them. They take an oath to uphold the commander in chief, so I am sure it would have been difficult for them to freely vote the way they wanted. Coercion. Coercion. Coercion.
