I’m Canadian and don’t know all of the inner workings of the US Military, but an observation from the outside is that it seems that the US Military oddly captures a lot of the more left-leaning ideals:

- Health care provided by the VA

- Education, both before the job (officer school or trades training) and for post-military life (GI Bill)

- Decent pension after retiring

Etc

Oh, it's all incredibly ironic; I think that's most of my point.
