The President is also known as the Commander In Chief…they literally command the military.

In a new survey of American military personnel, Donald Trump emerged as active-duty service members’ preference to become the next U.S. president, topping Hillary Clinton by more than a 2-to-1 margin. More than 54 percent of the 951 troops Military Times surveyed said they would vote for Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, over Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. Only about 25 percent said they would vote for Clinton in that matchup.

So a recent poll by Military Times was very interesting:

Given the ongoing controversy surrounding Mrs. Clinton and the deaths in Benghazi, it’s not surprising that the troops would be wary of giving that much control to Hillary.
