It’s important to the extent it shows that our military seems to support authoritarian candidates operating outside the reality based world. Turning off Fox News on bases would likely help. Note: I haven’t checked your assertion, and doubt that no other D candidate had support among military personnel.

Careful please: I said SIGNIFICANT support. Military Democrats were Tulsi's hard core of nationwide grass-roots support.
If people like Biden (who has very little grassroots support but a lot of Establishment support) can't attract support from military personnel, is that a problem? Does how the average serviceman/woman views the Commander in Chief play a role in combat readiness? And is it fair to describe Trump (if that is who you had in mind) as an "authoritarian candidate operating outside the reality based world"?
It's hard to think that you were describing Tulsi there.
You’re right, I don’t know if she’s authoritarian or not. She certainly acts like either a Russian agent or a useful idiot a la Tucker Carlson. And of course it’s fair to describe TFG thusly.
I got curious, and did a little research on your assertion. Surprisingly (to me, at least), it was Bernie Sanders who garnered the most support among military personnel during the primary season. Not just among Democrats, but overall as well. Like any other group, the military isn’t a monolith, and there are lots of disparate beliefs within.
Perhaps you're echoing Hillary Clinton's talking point when you smear Tulsi as a "Russian agent." Tulsi retorted by calling Hillary the "corrupt queen of the war-mongers."
If you have a source for 2020 military support for Bernie, I'd be interested in looking at it.
