No different than being in a union and being forced to not only vote for liberals but also forced to pay to support their campaigns.
BTW- Nobody can force you to vote any particular way. Secret ballets.

well it is like this if you wanna keep your job you better support the guy who is going to sign your check.SINCE the red states rely almost completey on government money it is good to have a man like bush or any republican in office .THE money really flows under the republicans right to the pockets of the rich and the companies they run .If you need to build a jail a road a city building a school a new ball park for the team you had better get some republicans in office to open up the coffers and spend some money and create some debt to pay off cause all those jobs pay scale wages few minority's work on these jobs created exclusively for white americans by rich white americans who make huge profits from these jobs.they order materials from the most exspensive supplier's and local small business owners can not get good help and suffer as the projects get underway.everytime bush does anything you can be sure it is bad for working america.

When an 'Airman' in the Airforce takes their oath of service, their top priority is the Constitution of the United States. Any order contrary to that can be refused. If an Airman is concerned about the constitutionality of an order he/she is given, there is a procedure they can initiate to examine the validity and ethics of that order based upon the Constitution. I imagine the same is true with the other branches of the military.
Voting for public officers is a right supported by the fifteenth ammendment of the Constitution. Any organization that is trying to force you to vote a certain way when dealing with non-organizational issues (public offices) is denying you your 15th ammendment rights and should be reported to your local attorney general's office.
Direct, personal confrontation with that organization may not be wise without legal counsel to back you.

They are not "forced" to vote any way. Just as those in unions to get prefered treatment and those on welfare vote to keep their "pay checks" coming by voting democrat these to groups vote for those who support them in congress. GOP has historically held larger defense budgets and a lumber company would have to lay off all their employees should an environmantalist get into office.

Soldiers can vote for whatever Candidate they wish, most vote Republican because you are more likely to find a Republican in the service than you are to find a Democrat.
One Soldier I chatted with before well she did not say if she was Democrat or Republican but she did say she was upset when Democrats had Military Ballots tossed out in Florida because she felt that she should be allowed to have a say in who is Commander In Chief.

Members of the armed forces have the freedom to vote just as all other eligible voters have.
However, they are accountable to the Commander-in-Chief; the President of the U.S. Therefore, they may not criticize or act in ways that are in conflict or disagreement with the President.

As a Former soldier I can tell you in the 14 years I served, I was never asked to vote in any way for the government. In fact it is illegal for us to discuss politics on base. Soldiers are not allowed to share political views, as we serve the country and the current president. Anyone tempting to do so would be considered to break ranks. Using corrosion to get votes is an act of treason against the country.

Gee, the last time I checked this was the USA, no one is forced to vote in a particular fashion. Gossip isn't news, check your sources.
