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

No. Military people just like 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.

Are the politics of the "majority" of those that serve in the military steeped in conservative values?

It's a matter of time. There is no thing set in stone. Yes, if you are talking about "USA" then in last 10 years military people have had greater associated with conservatives. In India, the militant people (the Maoist insurgents) are totally committed to leftist values.
