McCain Support in the military overwhelming
I happened to pick up a paper copy of Army Times today and went over the poll results, and was planning to post on it.
But Greyhawk is already all over it.
See the pie-chart breakdown here. The troops have spoken, and while the methodology probably overstates the results (very young soldiers are undersampled and are not broken out separately), those who are career-minded overwhelmingly support the veteran on the ticket.
By the way, is this a first? The Democrats have run a ticket with NO military experience on the part of either candidate.
Splash, out

Looking through Wikipedia, it looks like the last time a Democratic ticket was devoid of a veteran was the 1940 ticket of FDR and Henry Wallace. Haven't looked through the Republicans yet.
