The Washington Post reports FBI’s investigation of Trump included a counterintelligence inquiry:
The FBI investigation into President Trump that was opened almost immediately after he fired then-Director James B. Comey also included a counterintelligence component to determine if the president was seeking to help Russia, and if so, why, according to people familiar with the matter.
The decision by then-acting FBI director Andrew McCabe to open an investigation of a sitting president was a momentous step, but it came after Trump had cited the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election in his decision to fire Comey, these people said.
The counterintelligence component of the Trump investigation was first reported by the New York Times.
Late Saturday night, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked Trump in an interview if he is or ever was working for Russia. Trump responded, "I think it’s the most insulting thing I’ve ever been asked." Referring to the New York Times story, he went on, "I think it’s the most insulting article I’ve ever had written."

His point is not that the military is liberal, but that they have been subjected to 'liberal brainwashing'
He is knocking on the sensationalist media Chicken Littling for two years straight.
I'm not ruling it out as a factor, but it depends strongly on when the surveys were taken. It can be expected that there will be significant up or down swings in sentiment proximate to events that indicate heightening or lessening of tensions.

Do YOU read before you write? Since reading comprehension is beyond your skillset, I will explain. The OP was stating that the military is being brainwashed BY the liberal hysteria, not that they are the source of it.
Liberals seem to believe that the entire country, particularly the lowlife conservative variety, is easily brainwashed by a few Facebook ads, why wouldn't the 24 months of CNN's and NBC's constant drumbeat of impending war with whoever is the target of the day? I lost track. Is it North Korea, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the EU, or Mordor this week? I've been expecting martial law since January 2017. Wasn't that the narrative of November 2016?
The sky has been falling for two years now. I'm surprised my roof is still intact.

I've been expecting martial law since Nixon, but this guy wearing the red nose in the white house is doing a good job of selling it. And if he goes nuts, we might need it until the next scheduled election, when we will vote in another corrupt asshole. I mean, really, who else is there to blame for all this bullshit besides the people who sign off on it every other November?
