    There are a ton who are not. Hegseth fired the black General and woman leaders. Many service members are black or female and saw this. They see brown people getting rounded up, many in the military are Latino. And apart from that, people are 50% non-MAGA anyway.

      50% of the general population. I’d be curious to see polling of just the military, both of officers and enlisted. I’d imagine they skew higher in his favour.

        The higher up the chain you go, the more left it becomes. Never 100% or anything, but it’s there.

        Higher in his favor than the general population? Probably. More than 50%? I doubt it.

        But he is purging the leadership. If he purges it enough he will erode the effectiveness of the whole force. Which might be for the best when he invaded Greenland, Panama, and Canada.

        Not sure. There’s a full blown white male military guy I know through work. He’s an openly hateful and racist person. Like not even pretending he isn’t. He still is pissed at Trump over being incompetent and disrespectful to soldiers.
