In a nutshell, there is no causal relationship that I am aware of between being in the military and voting patterns.

If we examine the profiles of people who enter the enlisted ranks of the military, we would find more meaningful explanations of why those people vote republican.

Claiming that the majority of military personnel vote republican, while true according to polls, is a spurious correlation and doesn't mean anything.
