The majority of veterans are left leaning, and most of us kept our service sidearms and rifles. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dirtytreewhiskey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (2 children) Huh? What bullshit is that? As an actual leftist veteran I know that most veterans are not left leaning. I also know that the US military does not let you keep any sidearms or rifles with you even while you are in. That stuff gets locked up in the arms room. CIF doesn't even let you keep your canteens when you ETS, let alone weapons. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] drewofdoom@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago Anecdotal, but I had a roommate who was a veteran. He most definitely still had his rifle. He was also very left leaning. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago The Vietnam era vets kept a lot of guns from their tours. Stuff gets lost in wartime and they were more lenient back then. I'm a vet too and I know lots of vets. Most of them are left leaning. Most of us have guns. permalink fedilink source parent
