I don't know what is mostly republican. Do you use mostly as in 90% military people are republican?

No. Military people just like other people of other groups are diverse. They might lean more toward republican but they are not monolithic group. In a survey of who they would want as president this was how they indicated they would vote.

Trump vs Sanders
51% Trump, 38% Sanders (who is extreme left), 11 % no vote.

so you had 38% military people who wanted to vote leftist candidate/democrat party. 11% didn't want to vote. Only 1 out of 2 wanted to vote for republican.

Like I said, they're drawn from the lower classes so there would be a tendency towards liberalism on economic issues.

If Democrat party keeps promoting dubious candidates like Hillary Clinton then they would alienate those who lean towards liberalism. Point to note that on the same survey in which 38% wanted to vote for Sanders, only 2/3rd of those who wanted to vote for Sanders also wanted to vote for Hillary. Democrat party couldn't have come up with a worse candidate.
