Stompy,
Until I see solid research on why military personnel vote republican, and how that links to their support for a presidential candidate during a war (that is, 'traditionally' voting republican doesn't mean much when we aren't traditionally in wars), I'm guestimating these are spurious correlations.
It might be more meaningful to compare the relative education levels of servicepeople and their spouses to their voting patterns.
