For the record, while statistically I suppose you might be able to demonstrate that military members generally vote Republican, I believe the divide is far smaller than you think. Again, I can't back it with numbers, just my experience.

Additionally, while perhaps during the Reagan era the "republican President=better pay and benefits for the military" theory might have rung true. I don't find so many active military folks stating that anymore. The only people you hear that from are the older retiree types.

In fact, statistically, some of the biggest pay/benefit increases in 20+ years came under the Clinton Presidency. I believe in spite of the rhetoric you'll find that the current Republican administration has been far less military friendly than it would seem on the surface.
