wondering if there has ever been a report published, or some kind of media showing what kind of political breakdown there is among US fighting men and women (all branches), dem, rep, other or non political

I've seen breakdowns, post-election, of voting trends. Also, there has been some party registration data, but I cannot remember where it could be located, online. Basically, what I've seen has, in recent years, shown that officers tend to vote around 70-30 GOP, enlisted men around 50-50(although Obama carried
enlisted military personnel by a 2-1 margin). Women vs men, interestingly, show little demographic difference.
