The US military is known as being rife with ultra-nationalists and fully in bed with the MIC. Past that, I wouldn’t even call it non-partisan. Each branch has its own partisan tilt - Air Force / Marines favoring the GOP, Army / Navy trending Dem - with career brass tending to play coy on their politics so they can survive Senate confirmation to those top ranks.
But you’re fucking crazy if you think the organization that churns out the most politicians per-capita isn’t political. Holding a military rank continues to be a popular launchpad into an electoral career.

Are you confusing voting trends with allegiance to a given party?
When I was in, it was required we be apolitical. Different setup for you?
