Historically, American soldiers have tended to be more conservative and Republican-leaning than the population at large. Yet polls suggest that troops are beginning to sour on this GOP president. Since Trump's election, the percentage of service members disapproving of his performance has gone from a third to half of the nation's fighting force.


Given his record of disrespect toward the military and its values, the surprise is that it isn't higher.
