Are you kidding me???
This has to be the shoddiest piece of reporting and most blatant example of media bias I've yet seen.
Let's pretend for a moment that none of the soldiers they interviewed intended to vote for McCain; they were all for Hillary or Obama. In this scenario, how could an honest article not mention McCain's name, even if only to raise the point that none of soldiers intended to vote for the only veteran? If you were an honest journalist wouldn't you find a lack of overwhelming support for McCain to be odd, and therefore pointedly ask this question to troops? Perhaps the limited cross-section of troops they interviewed indeed were primarily for Obama or Hillary, but again, to not even mention McCain in this context is outrageously poor reporting.

I also love one of the headlines in the related articles section: "Defense Spending Tops Bush Budget". Well, duh!
