@elisabethbraw @RonaldReagan @macgregorcs @TofvessonMikael @_JakubJanda Because most of military people watch Fox propaganda. That’s why. My husband is a veteran and all the TVs at the installation- hospitals, offices — are always on Fox. So what they do when they go home? The same. It’s call conditioning.
