No, Mr. Liar, I was very clear that my example was anecdotal (I repeated that part several times, I hope you know what that means), but that the point of citing it was that I'm at least as in touch with a military community as you are.
If we want to go with stats, every stat presented here shows that the military doesn't "think of him as a joke," or "hate" him the way that YOU fantasize that they do.
And of course many of them think of him "as a joke." I personally think of him as a joke. But he also has done a lot, lot, lot of good and he earned my vote after NOT getting it originally in 2016.
