The nobel goal in Vietnam was to save people from the 'joy' of communism.
It failed with tragic results after the US pull out.

Reagan made a speech to the American Legion convention, pandering for the military vote.

A poll conducted late last year by the Military Times found that 57 percent of those surveyed consider themselves Republican, while 13 percent identified with the Democrats. Among the officer corps the numbers were different. Nearly 66 percent of officers considered themselves Republican compared with 9 percent Democratic. Nearly 30 percent of those surveyed by the Military Times declined to answer the questions or said they were independent.

Republicans don't need to
pander to get the military vote, this isn't a draft army, these are volunteers, you won't find many Democrats. Its even worse for the democrats if you look at the national guard and the reserves.
Don't forget it was the Democrats who did their best to get military votes thrown out in 2000, they didn't do that because the military votes Democrat.
