The question is a little problematic for me. Just what, exactly, constitutes a "good Dem?"

A "Democrat" is a member of a political party. You're either a member or not. Is there a litmus test for members? Are the "good" members the ones that get in line and march behind the appointed "leaders?" Are the "bad" dems those that dissent with party leadership? What?

Is the question about whether a person in the military can be liberal or progressive? I'll leave the term "good" out of it, since that seems to ask for a narrow definition. People in the military can be liberal and/or progressive. Many of them have more reason to be than most. People in the military can also be authoritarian power-mongers. :shrug:

People in the military are people, just like the rest of the population. They can "be" anything any people can be.
