There is a group of people who are generally well disposed towards the US military, who aver that service members are or tend towards dominance. They often have family in the military, and they see dominance as superior to submission for men, and this suits their expectations. There is another group of people who bear a grudge against the military, who delight in the idea of all those rough, tuff guys secretly being little submissives - for them submission is shameful, a pejorative that belies the supposed leadership inculcation that hapens in the US military. Both of these attitudes reflect a fundamental confusion between leadership (a suite of character traits, virtues) and your power orientation in intimacy (which role makes your genitals engorge). The two are unrelated. All kinds of people join the US military, there is usually more than one motivation behind their joining, and until I see a broad clinical survey on sexual orientation among service members I am going to assume that there is prolly a mix.
