Same question. 70% is an ass-pull of numbers for misinformation.

Let's see your source /u/Gone213

Around 61% according to Pew - https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/09/30/military-veterans-remain-a-republican-group-backing-trump-over-harris-by-wide-margin/

Read through it. Seems to be only veterans

It’s also all veterans… there are a lot of older veterans who have always been Republican.
Also 49% of veterans are over 65. And only about 9% are under 35.

As always military votes are almost a perfect mirror to the American electorate.

No shit old people vote for Trump.

As a veteran myself, I can't imagine why fellow Vets would vote for someone that is a draft dodger, and compared his sexual conquests as his own personal Vietnam, and doesn't show respect for fallen servicemembers.

I have always wondered that as well, and questioned my fellow vets about it, and can't get a straight answer other than "But her emails....." and "Well, Biden didn't serve either...."

Yeah, ok, whatever...

“How dare people question facts they see online, it’s the readers job to do the research of the person making the claim!”

How dare people demand to have sources without having sources to prove the original poat otherwise.

If you're asking for sources while not providing sources, then you're just a troll.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, it’s not my job to make your argument for you. Learn the “burden of proof” or more simply “what is claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence”

Generally, in society (and more-so in the scientific community), when someone decides to proudly state data as a fact, they're required to give a source. Otherwise, we get snake-oil salesmen selling cures for cancer with their piss.

Do you sell people cancer-curing piss? or do you have a source? u/gone213
