Former Navy SEAL: 90 Percent Of US Troops Disapprove Of Obama -- Washington Free Beacon
More than 90 percent of U.S. troops disapprove of President Obama, former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren.
Higbie denounced Obama’s remarks at CENTCOM headquarters in Tampa, Fla., Wednesday, accusing the president of orchestrating a “photo-op” with U.S. troops.
“[Obama] has touted that he is behind the troops before, and he stands in front of these guys, gets a photo-op, everything like that, while saying he’s going to send 3,000 guys to combat Ebola,” Higbie said. “But I’m not going to send any to combat an actual enemy that’s really threatening America.”

Update: Former Navy SEAL: Over 90 Percent Of Troops Do Not Support Obama -- Daily Caller
My Comment: President Obama is down in the polls .... but 90% in the military disapproving of him .... that is a stretch. If former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie had said 70% .... that would have been received more favorably.

Maybe it is 90% among operators or people who regularly work with them.
Maybe it is 90% among people who serve more then 1 tour/ 1 enlistment.
Or it could be his 'confirmation bias'.
For the longest time people believed that the military was more conservative. which why the Gore campaign tried to knock out overseas military votes in 2000 from being counted.
But new polls say not so fast. The military reflects. The general population or reflects it more than in the past.
My unit was an Aviation unit. (I speak _only_ for myself and do not represent the Army, my unit, or anything other than my own opinions)
But I can tell you that throughout Basic, AIT, training, and deployment, that 90% figure is close to the mark.
And they've done an excellent job in the past two 'election' theaters of making sure that the military vote was thrown out to avoid disturbing their playbills.
