Part of the right winger oligarchy stick, is blind obedience. And in the military, obedience, discipline is part of what the military uses to keep their armies from turning into rabble.
So blind obedience stick of the GOP tend to appeal to military (not always I'm vet and know many others who are liberal, but many especially older military tend to be GOP or tea bagger nut jobs... but to be in the military, you're either nuts to begin with or you turn a little nuts while in there).
Always found it funny, a Major I served with was bitching about the "Nanny state" and the prospects of universal medical system, all while she worked for the most USSR style communist-dictatorship employer in the US; the military where everything she wears, to how she does her hair is dictated, and she's given housing money which often is twice the price of most mortgage payments, why many high enlisted to low level officers take out out two mortgages for two houses, they can start a small rental business on the side, and a nice salary that always increases on scheduled basis, with a defined 20 year defined pension plan in addition to social security payout that is an addition to the military pension that happens at age 65 (postal pensions you have to chose between social security or the US Postal pension they won't pay both), all while universal health care under tri-care.
Really, it's that they want theirs and fuck everyone else.

There's a chunk of the population that is, despite the internet, and supposedly the most traveled, they're either not traveled themselves, have very few close nit friends, none of which in other major developed nations, etc.
They fall for idiot propaganda.
I have traveled, I know Germany, Austria, UK, and Japan medical system using parts of it and visiting hospitals and a clinic with friends. Even being a foreigner it's cheaper. Since then I still buy a Rx usually from Germany.
Propaganda. It's powerful force. Many former soviet states in the USSR, even in China with their bogus communist party suck on their propaganda stuff pretty hard. It's not just US that gets snookered by their rulers and aristocracy.
