No militancy is not predominantly exclusive to Republicans or right wing conservatives in the west. The linking of militancy to military is an etymological fallacy.

How so?

So if militant attitudes and behavior is not 'predominately' or 'mostly' exclusive to republican right conservatives in the west, what it the ratio then of right wing to left wing in the military, and\or those that support the defense force?

Members of the military join for many different reasons, and we end up with people from varied backgrounds and ideals. Young men and women I personally know going into the military are doing it to do things like take advantage of the educational opportunities while in the military, the careers they can start during their enlistment, and the GI Bill benefits they can take advantage of after they leave. None of these people that I know express any political or militant desire for their reason to enter.

As far as ratios of political leanings in the military, here's a study from a few years ago that may help.
